About Sierra Nevada Memorial - Miners Hospital
Sierra Nevada Memorial - Miners Hospital’s recent grantmaking is anchored by very large support for Dignity Health Medical Foundation, including a $9,701,343 grant in 2024 and a $7,726,579 grant in 2025. That pattern points to a funder centered on medical foundation support rather than small, scattered awards. The foundation’s public description emphasizes delivering compassionate, high-quality, affordable health services and supporting community health through fundraising and partnerships, and its grants reflect that mix of institutional support and community health funding. Across the recent grants list, the foundation also backs its own local hospital foundation in Grass Valley. It made $791,562 in 2024 and $777,004 in 2025 to Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital Foundation, both tagged as foundation support. Smaller community-health grants extend that same local orientation through county health and human services and hospice organizations in California. The picture is of a health funder that uses large grants to sustain medical institutions and recurring support to community-serving health organizations.

Healthcare delivery is the clearest theme in the recent grant record. A $6,483,207 grant in 2023 to Dignity Health Medical Foundation was tagged medical foundation support, showing how the funder backs organizational capacity inside the health system.

The foundation gave $240,000 in both 2023 and 2024, and again in 2025, all labeled community health. Another community-health example is the $348,012 grant in 2025 to California Health Foundation and Trust in Sacramento. Hospital infrastructure support is visible in the repeated grants to Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital Foundation in Grass Valley, while a $94,479 grant in 2025 to Hospice of the Foothills adds end-of-life care to the mix.
