    About Scaife Family Foundation

    The Scaife Family Foundation appears to direct all of its philanthropic resources to a single beneficiary: the Magee-Womens Research Institute and Foundation. Its support is focused on women's health and associated patient-oriented "wraparound" services and research-related activities, indicating a targeted commitment to advancing medical research and care for women. The foundation gives large, repeated gifts to one institution rather than distributing funds across many organizations or causes.

    About Scaife Family Foundation

    The Scaife Family Foundation’s recent giving is unusually concentrated: its largest grants repeatedly go to Magee-Womens Research Institute and Foundation in Pittsburgh for wraparound services, the CARES program, and birth doulas. That pattern points to a funder with a very focused interest in women’s health and patient support rather than broad, multi-cause philanthropy. Across the recent grants list, the foundation also backs institutions serving women, children, and families, along with selected work in addiction recovery and animal welfare. The scale is substantial. Annual grants total $19,940,420, and the median grant size is $30,000, but the foundation also makes six- and seven-figure awards. In 2025, it gave $1.5 million for wraparound services, $800,000 for the CARES program, and $700,000 for birth doulas, each to the same Pittsburgh-based research and care institution. Other large awards show a similar institutional style: $500,000 to Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation for campus transformation and $385,000 to 211 Palm Beach Treasure Coast Inc for program support. Rather than spreading support widely, the foundation appears to favor repeated grants to a limited set of organizations with defined service or research functions.

    What Scaife Family Foundation Funds

    Women’s health is the clearest thread in the foundation’s grantmaking. It gave $1,500,000 to Magee-womens Research Institute and Foundation for wraparound services, then followed with $800,000 for the CARES program and $700,000 for birth doulas. Those awards show support not only for research but also for patient-facing services tied to care delivery. Family and child-focused work also appears in grants to Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation: $450,000 for the Family & Children Care Initiative and another $250,000 for the same initiative. The foundation also funded $115,000 to Shelter for Abused Women & Children Inc for operating support, indicating attention to safety and welfare services. Addiction recovery and related support are present as well. It gave $500,000 to Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation for campus transformation, $250,000 to Puppies Behind Bars for operating support, and $194,000 to Restoration Bridge International for program support.

    How Scaife Family Foundation Gives

    Typical grants cluster around a $20,000 p25, $30,000 median, and $68,875 p75, but the distribution includes much larger institutional awards. Recent giving shows repeated support to the same organizations across multiple years, especially the Pittsburgh-based women’s health institution and several recurring Florida nonprofits. The foundation is a family foundation by name and structure, and it does not fund individuals. It also makes grants for operating support, program support, and capital support, with program-specific awards appearing often. Unsolicited applications are accepted for its active United States grant programs.
