Starhill Associates primarily directs large, targeted gifts to health care at UCSF—especially neurology/neurosurgery and pediatric medicine—while also channeling major funding through the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, suggesting use of donor-advised or intermediary vehicles. They make a smaller but specific international education investment (Teach For Armenia). Overall their philanthropy favors high-dollar, institution-focused grants rather than many small awards.
Concentrated, high-dollar giving with repeated large grants to a few institutional partners; significant use of an intermediary (Silicon Valley Community Foundation) alongside direct major gifts to UCSF units.
Starhill Associates Inc C/o Greensteinrogoffolsen & Collp has made repeated large gifts to UCSF neurosurgery and neurology, with individual awards near $250,000 across 2023, 2024, and 2025. That pattern puts clinical medicine and research at the center of its giving. The foundation also returns again and again to Children of Armenia and Teach For Armenia, indicating a second track of support tied to Armenia-focused education and youth development. Its recent grant record shows a mix of major institutional funding and smaller targeted awards, rather than a broad spread of many modest grants. The largest grant in the file went to Silicon Valley Community Foundation, which received more than $2.2 million in 2023 and additional seven-figure and mid-six-figure support in later years. UCSF Children’s Hospital, UCSF Neurology, and Ucsf Pediatric also appear among the foundation’s recipients, reinforcing the health-care emphasis. Outside medicine, the foundation has backed American University of Armenia, Tumo Foundation, and the Tufenkian Foundation, showing a sustained link to Armenia-related education and charitable activity.
In neuroscience and clinical medicine, the foundation gave $248,487 in 2025 to UCSF Neurosurgery and $198,649 in 2025 to UCSF Neurology, building on similar grants in prior years. Pediatric care is another clear area: UCSF Children’s Hospital received $196,659 in 2023 and $98,895 in 2024, while Ucsf Pediatric received $99,325 in 2025. Armenia-related education also appears in the file. Teach For Armenia received $215,881 in 2025, and the foundation made additional grants to Children of Armenia in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Education-linked giving extends to the American University of Armenia and the Tumo Foundation, both funded in 2025. The record also includes a smaller environmental grant to Green Foothills Lennie Roberts Endo in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
The foundation’s typical grant size sits at $18,010 at the 25th percentile, $99,325 at the median, and $197,654 at the 75th percentile. That spread fits a pattern of selective, medium-to-large awards rather than many small checks. Several recipients reappear across multiple years, including Silicon Valley Community Foundation, UCSF Neurosurgery, UCSF Children’s Hospital, Children of Armenia, Cancer Commons, and Green Foothills Lennie Roberts Endo. The file also points to intermediary giving through Silicon Valley Community Foundation, which was funded in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The foundation is not an individual-funding vehicle and does not make program-related investments.
