About Bungie Foundation
The Bungie Foundation focuses its giving on health and emergency medical response, primarily providing large general operating grants to major pediatric hospitals and disaster/medical relief organizations. Their awards are sizeable and few, directed toward institutions that deliver direct patient care or rapid-response medical services rather than program-specific pilots. Grants are geographically dispersed across the U.S. with an element of international medical relief.

About Bungie Foundation
The Bungie Foundation’s largest recent grant went to Children’s Hospital of Colorado, a $429,420 general funding award that reflects how heavily the foundation supports pediatric health institutions. Its giving is concentrated in large operating grants rather than small project awards, with recurring support for children’s hospitals, health systems, and emergency-response groups. Direct Relief appears repeatedly in the recent grants list, including $412,000 in 2024 and additional awards of $238,071, $223,260, $150,000, and $60,000 in prior years, showing an ongoing relationship with a national medical-relief intermediary. The foundation also supports hospital-based patient experience work and crisis response. Recent grants include support for Seattle Children’s Hospital Foundation, Children’s Health System of Texas, Nationwide Children’s Hospital Foundation, and Team Rubicon Disaster Response. Its portfolio reaches beyond a single institution type, but the common thread is direct funding for organizations delivering medical care, hospital services, or disaster aid. Awards are generally substantial, and the recent record shows both general funding grants and sponsorships.
What Bungie Foundation Funds
Health and pediatric care are central to the foundation’s giving. It awarded $409,933 to Children’s Health System of Texas for general funding and $335,434 to Inova Health Systems Foundation for the same purpose, alongside other hospital general support. Emergency response is another clear theme. The foundation gave $296,111 to Team Rubicon and later $100,000 to Team Rubicon Disaster Response, both as general funding grants, and also supported Direct Relief multiple times for medical and disaster response work. The foundation also backs hospital patient-experience programming. Through its Little Lights program, participating children’s hospitals receive iPads and related support free of charge, including device management and content customization. Recent gifts to Seattle Children’s Hospital Foundation and Valley Children’s Healthcare Foundation fit that direct-care and hospital-support pattern.
How Bungie Foundation Gives
Typical grant size sits at $16,094 at the 25th percentile, $36,439 at the median, and $101,059 at the 75th percentile, showing a spread from mid-sized awards to much larger institutional grants. The recent record also points to repeat recipients rather than one-off relationships: Direct Relief, Team Rubicon, Seattle Children’s Hospital Foundation, and College Success Foundation each appear more than once across the listed years. The Bungie Foundation is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The grants shown are primarily general funding, with some sponsorships.
