About Sutter Health
Sutter Health’s largest recent grant went to Presidio Trust for $1,433,333 in program support, a signal that the foundation’s giving reaches beyond one-off charity and into sustained community benefit work. Across its recent grants, the foundation supports healthcare delivery, community health programs, behavioral health, patient support services, and health equity. The portfolio includes sizeable support for Charles R Drew University of Medicine and Science, where Sutter Health awarded $450,000 in 2025, and repeated support for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, which appears in multiple years and locations in the recent grants list. The foundation’s giving is closely tied to health access and direct service. Recent awards include support for Sutter Valley Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgery Access Coalition, and the American National Red Cross, alongside community-focused grants to organizations such as Neighborhood Wellness Fndt and Anamatangi Polynesian Voices. Its public-charity structure, program support style, and use of project and general programmatic funding point to an institutional grantmaker funding health-related work through named organizations rather than individuals. The grant list also shows a mix of local institutions and select regional or national partners, all within a health-centered frame.

The foundation also gave $187,123 to Sutter Valley Hospitals for program support in 2025. For community health and education, it awarded $143,500 to Cristo Rey High School Sacramento in 2023 and $136,657 to Anamatangi Polynesian Voices in East Palo Alto in 2023. The presence of Healthy Davis Together at $49,134 in 2023 points to community-based health coordination. Its health-equity and support-services giving also includes $100,000 to Best Buddies International Inc in 2024 and $50,000 to Coalition for Compassionate Care of CA in 2024, reflecting interest in population health, support services, and care coordination.
How Sutter Health Gives
Sutter Health’s recent grants cluster around a typical mid-five-figure scale, with p25 at $10,000, median at $18,215, and p75 at $35,493. The list also includes larger program-support awards in the six- and seven-figure range, which sit above the central pattern.

Examples in the data include repeated support for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Ambulatory Surgery Access Coalition, and Coalition for Compassionate Care. Sutter Health is a public charity and a regular DAF funder, and it makes program-related investments.
