to provide quality healthcare to our patients and to improve the health and well-being of our community.
Salinas Valley Health Foundation’s recent giving is centered on operations support and equipment for Salinas Valley Health, including a $2,717,731 grant in 2025 and a $2,108,947 grant in 2024. The pattern points to a hospital-affiliated funder that channels large grants into the core needs of its local health system rather than a broad external portfolio. A third recent grant, $1,651,425 in 2023 to Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital, shows that this approach has continued across multiple years. The foundation’s programs reinforce that identity. It maintains restricted funds for pediatric health, patient assistance, cancer care, pulmonary and respiratory care, cardiac and stroke services, and capital projects. Several of those funds are tied to the same service area and support direct patient care, clinical capacity, and equipment. Its stated purpose is to provide quality healthcare to patients and improve the health and well-being of the community, and the grant record shows that mission expressed through health-system support, pediatric services, and patient-facing assistance.
Pediatrics is a visible part of the foundation’s work. Through its Healthy Kids Fund and Healthy Kids Children’s Miracle Network program, it supports pediatric medical needs assistance, the Level III NICU, the Pediatric Diabetes Clinic, Asthma Day Camp, Pediatric Wellness Coaching, and Miracle Mobile services. Patient support is another clear emphasis. The Patient Assistance Fund provides help with items and services not covered by insurance, including mobility aids, prosthetics, therapies, food assistance, and transportation. The foundation also backs major clinical service lines. Its Comprehensive Cancer Care Fund supports inpatient oncology services, outpatient infusion services, and patient support resources such as education, support groups, comfort items, wigs, and transportation. The Cardiac and Stroke Care Fund supports equipment upgrades, staff training, service expansion, and community outreach and education. The Pulmonary and Respiratory Care Fund covers respiratory care department needs across inpatient units and the pulmonary function laboratory.
Typical grant size is large: the 25th percentile is $1,880,186, the median is $2,108,947, and the 75th percentile is $2,413,339. The recent record shows repeated support to the same recipient across multiple years, with Salinas Valley Health funded in both 2024 and 2025 and Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital funded in 2023. The foundation’s structure is a health-system foundation with restricted funds, endowment support, and an unrestricted Greatest Needs Fund. Unsolicited applications are not part of the active programs listed.
