The RSM Family Foundation concentrates large, unrestricted grants to health and children's institutions in the Los Angeles area, with a strong emphasis on hospital systems, pediatric support services, and cancer research.

Grants are predominantly for general operating support, indicating trust in grantee leadership and a preference for flexible funding.
Concentrated, high-dollar grants in a limited set of sectors and geographies; repeated multi-year or multiple grants to flagship beneficiaries; predominantly unrestricted/general operating support rather than project-specific funding.
Rsm Family Foundation 143589-000 has made several large general operating grants to Los Angeles-area hospitals and child-focused institutions, with Cedars Sinai Medical Care receiving $370,725 in 2023 and Ronald Mcdonald House receiving $200,000 that same year. The foundation’s recent giving shows a preference for flexible support rather than project-restricted awards, and many of its larger grants go to organizations tied to health care, pediatrics, and family services. That pattern continues across its recent grants list. Children’s Institute received $110,000 in 2024, while Children’s Hospital received $100,000 in 2025, both on a general operating basis. The foundation also supports cancer research, as shown by grants to Tower Cancer Research Foundation in Beverly Hills, and funds community institutions such as Wilshire Boulevard Temple and Dunn School. Its portfolio suggests a family-centered approach that reaches health systems, schools, and Jewish communal organizations, mostly within Southern California.
Health care is a clear priority. In 2025, the foundation gave $100,000 to Cedars Sinai Hospital for general operating support, and it also awarded $50,000 to Saint Johns Health Center Found in Santa Monica. Children and family services form another recurring area. Ronald Mcdonald House La received $100,000 in 2025, and Children’s Institute received $110,000 in 2024, both as general operating grants. Education appears as a separate thread. Curtis School received $115,000 in 2024, while Dunn School received $100,000 in 2023 and another $25,000 in 2025. The foundation also supports community and cultural institutions, including a $39,850 grant to Wilshire Blvd Temple in 2025 and a $50,000 grant to Mccallum Theatre in Palm Desert.
Typical awards cluster around flexible support: the grant-size distribution is $10,000 at the 25th percentile, $25,000 at the median, and $100,000 at the 75th percentile. The recent list includes multiple repeat recipients across years, including Cedars Sinai, Ronald Mcdonald House, Tower Cancer Research Foundation, Dunn School, and Wilshire Boulevard Temple, which points to ongoing relationships rather than one-time gifts. The foundation is classified as a regular funder, not a DAF, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The available grant records do not indicate an application process.
