About Health Trust
TO BUILD HEALTH EQUITY IN SILICON VALLEY. We believe that everyone in our community should have the opportunity to be healthy and that a person’s income, race, immigration status, language, age, or zip code should never act as a barrier to health. The Health Trust advances this mission through grantmaking, advocacy, and partnerships focused on communities disproportionately affected by health disparities.

About Health Trust
The Health Trust’s recent giving is anchored by a $1.2 million grant to Loaves & Fishes Family Kitchen in 2025, a signal that large awards sit alongside its smaller community grants and rapid-response funding. The foundation backs organizations working on health equity in Silicon Valley, with a strong emphasis on communities affected by health disparities tied to income, race, immigration status, language, age, or zip code. Its grantmaking also reaches into medically related community health interventions, food and nutrition, chronic disease prevention and management, and supportive housing. The pattern in the recent grants list shows a funder working through local health, housing, and community-service organizations rather than a single channel. Santa Clara County Public Health Department received $644,757 in 2023, while Gardner Family Health Network Inc received $252,500 in 2024 and another $150,000 in 2024. Other awards support community-based partners such as African American Community Services Agency, Veggielution, Amigos De Guadalupe Center for Justice and Empowerment, and Ravenswood Family Health Network. Together, those grants point to a foundation that combines institutional partnerships with neighborhood-level organizations to advance health equity in Silicon Valley.
What Health Trust Funds
Food access is one clear strand of The Health Trust’s work. In 2025, it gave $1.2 million to Loaves & Fishes Family Kitchen, and in 2023 it awarded $150,000 to Community Food Bank of San Benito County, reflecting direct support for food-related community needs. Health care access and prevention also show up across the recent grants. Santa Clara County Public Health Department received $644,757 in 2023, and School Health Clinics of Santa Clara County received $150,000 in 2024. The foundation also supported Bay Area Community Health with $170,000 in 2023 and North East Medical Services with $165,000 in 2025. Housing-linked health support appears in the grant list as well. Family Supportive Housing Inc received $150,000 in 2024, and West Valley Community Services received $152,500 in 2024 and $147,500 in 2023. These awards align with the foundation’s supportive housing and health equity focus areas.
How Health Trust Gives
Typical awards cluster around six figures: the 25th percentile is $75,000, the median is $129,216, and the 75th percentile is $156,250. The recent list includes both larger institutional grants and smaller community-scale awards, including one historical mini-grant program with awards from $1,500 to $20,000 and a community grants program capped at $5,000. The Health Trust is a regular funder and also makes program-related investments. The grant record shows repeat support across years for several recipients, including Silicon Valley Community Foundation, Gardner Family Health Network Inc, Indian Health Center of Santa Clara Valley Inc, West Valley Community Services, Youth Alliance, and Roots Community Health Center South Bay. That points to ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards. Unsolicited requests are accepted for the Rapid Response Fund, Community Grants, and Health Partnership Grants; the Health Equity Fund does not accept unsolicited requests.
