The Scot and Lance Karp Family Foundation concentrates its giving on healthcare organizations, providing unrestricted operating support rather than project-specific funding. Grants are few but meaningful in size and go to clinical and community health providers serving general hospital needs and LGBTQ/HIV-related health services. Although based in Milwaukee, the foundation appears willing to fund organizations outside its home city. Its support emphasizes organizational stability and core mission delivery.
Concentrated and targeted: a small number of mid-sized unrestricted grants to healthcare organizations rather than many small or highly restricted awards. Funding appears repeatable but focused on sustaining organizational operations.
Notable grantees: Eisenhower Medical (community hospital), DAP Health (HIV/AIDS and LGBTQ-focused community health center)
