About Mt Sinai Medical Center
The Mt Sinai Medical Center’s recent giving is defined by a single large institutional grant: $1,599,241 in 2024 to Mt Sinai Health Care Foundation for general support. That pattern points to a funder centered on sustaining its own health care network rather than dispersing money across unrelated charities. The foundation’s recorded giving also includes a smaller 2023 general-support grant of $82,759 to the same affiliated entity, reinforcing a repeat relationship around operational backing.
Beyond general support, the foundation’s active programs show a clear health-centered agenda in Greater Cleveland. It funds work tied to hospital and clinical services, academic medicine and bioscience, health policy, and the health of the Jewish community. The program descriptions connect this philanthropy to medical education, biomedical research, fellowship and training support, population health interventions, and access to comprehensive health services. The Mt Sinai Medical Center also uses partnership-oriented grants to support evidence-based initiatives such as home visiting, primary care access, and youth scientific enrichment.
Across the available record, the foundation appears to channel resources through affiliated institutions and targeted community health programs in Cleveland and Cuyahoga County.

In hospital and clinical services support, the clearest recent pattern is general support to Mt Sinai Health Care Foundation, which aligns with the foundation’s institutional role in sustaining health care operations. That same internal orientation appears in its work on academic medicine and bioscience, where the foundation funds medical education, biomedical research, and fellowship support intended to perpetuate Mt. Sinai Medical Center’s teaching and research legacy.
The foundation also supports community-facing health programs. Its equitable health outcomes work is aimed at improving health for Greater Cleveland’s most vulnerable individuals and families through prevention, early intervention, and access to comprehensive services. In the health of the Jewish community area, it funds efforts to improve physical and mental health in Cleveland’s Jewish community, often alongside the Jewish Federation of Cleveland. The general grant program also includes health policy among its funding areas.
