The Diebold Foundation concentrates its giving on large, targeted gifts to health-care institutions—especially hospital-based cancer and pediatric treatment facilities—while occasionally funding urban emergency social services. Grants are sizable and focused, often made repeatedly to the same hospital partners to support specific capital or program needs (e.g., a cancer center and a pediatric MIBG treatment room).
The Diebold Foundation Inc. has a clear pattern of returning to the same health-care institutions for large, targeted gifts, especially around cancer care and pediatric treatment space. Its two largest recent grants were each $500,000 to Danbury Hospitalnw Milford Hospital Foundation for the Diebold Foundation Cancer Center in 2024 and 2025, showing a repeat commitment to that project. A second major line of giving supports pediatric hospital infrastructure: Connecticut Children's Medical Center received $250,000 in 2023 for pediatric hybrid operating rooms and another $250,000 in 2024 for an MIBG room. Beyond hospital capital and facility needs, the foundation also funds select human-services and relief work, including operating support for The Bowery Mission and emergency assistance through Christian Appalachian Project. The recent record also shows grants to organizations serving children, caregivers, and communities facing hardship, but the center of gravity remains highly targeted institutional support. The foundation gives at a regional scale, with most grants landing in Connecticut and many awards appearing as repeat support to the same organizations across multiple years.
Hospital-based cancer care is a major theme. In 2023, the foundation gave $55,000 to Nuvance Health for the Diebold Foundation Cancer Center, aligning with its repeated support for cancer-center facilities. Pediatric oncology and specialized treatment rooms are another clear focus: Connecticut Children's Medical Center received $250,000 in 2023 for pediatric hybrid operating rooms and $250,000 in 2024 for an MIBG room. The foundation also backs child and caregiver wellness services. East End Hospice was funded in 2023 and 2024 for a children and caregiver bereavement group, while Connecticut Junior Republic received multiple $100,000 grants for a wellness program. Outside health care, it has supported emergency and relief work, including $100,000 grants to Christian Appalachian Project for Kentucky flood relief and home repairs, plus $52,265 to UNICEF USA for Ukraine relief for children.
The Diebold Foundation Inc. gives at a relatively high midrange: the typical grant size is $25,000 at the 25th percentile, $48,500 at the median, and $90,000 at the 75th percentile. The recent record shows both one-time and repeated awards, with several recipients appearing in multiple years, including Connecticut Junior Republic, East End Hospice, and Christian Appalachian Project. The foundation funds individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its awards are often project-based or capital-oriented, with operating support appearing less frequently but still present in the data.
