The Reid Robert and Jean Family Foundation concentrates almost all of its giving on healthcare and related higher-education medical institutions, primarily in the Pacific Northwest despite being based in Chicago. Grants are large and targeted—supporting pediatric care, regional hospital systems, and university medical programs—often provided as repeat awards to the same institutions. The foundation’s giving is clearly place- and issue-driven, favoring capital, program, or institutional support for established health care providers and academic medicine.
Very concentrated: a small number of large grants, repeated awards to the same three institutions; focused geographic footprint (Seattle area) and issue area (healthcare/academic medicine).
Reid Robert and Jean Family Fdn gives at the institutional level, with grants that often recur to the same health and medical education recipients across consecutive years. The largest recent award in the file is $1,060,000 to Seattle Children's Hospital for program support, following a $1,020,000 grant to the same hospital the year before. That pattern is echoed in other awards to major Seattle-area health systems and universities, showing a grantmaker focused on established organizations rather than broad, open-ended funding. The foundation’s recent giving centers on pediatric care, regional hospital systems, and academic medicine. Swedish Medical Center Foundation received $767,500 in 2024 and $637,500 in 2023, while the University of Washington Uw Tower Box 357260 was granted $317,500 in 2024 and $312,500 in 2023. These awards are described as program support, indicating a preference for targeted institutional backing. Bellevue-based and Seattle-based recipients also appear repeatedly, including hospital, college, and community organizations.
Healthcare is the clearest theme in the foundation’s recent grants. Seattle Children’s Hospital received $1,060,000 in 2024 for program support, and Swedish Medical Center Foundation received $767,500 in 2024 for the same purpose. The foundation also backed Overlake Hospital Foundation with $185,000 in 2024, reinforcing its emphasis on medical institutions in the Puget Sound region. Academic medicine is another visible strand. The University of Washington Uw Tower Box 357260 received $317,500 in 2024 for program support, alongside a $312,500 grant in 2023. Outside healthcare, the foundation funded education and youth-serving organizations, including $150,000 to Seattle University in 2024 and $80,000 to Boys & Girls Clubs of Bellevue in 2024. A $50,000 grant to St Thomas Episcopal Church in Medina shows that its portfolio also includes community-based institutional support.
The reported grant-size distribution is substantial: p25 is $85,000, median is $150,000, and p75 is $317,500. That range matches a pattern of large, program-specific awards rather than small discretionary grants. The recent grants list also shows repeat support to the same organizations across 2023 and 2024, including Seattle Children’s Hospital, Swedish Medical Center Foundation, the University of Washington, and Bellevue College Foundation. The foundation does not fund individuals and makes no program-related investments. Its recent awards are all described as program support.
