About Randall Family Foundation
The Randall Family Foundation’s largest recent gift was a $20,000,000 grant to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to fund and support the advancement of the Surgery department. That single award sets the tone for a funder that has consistently backed institutional health care capacity, especially in acute-care and surgical settings. Alongside that major grant, the foundation has also supported the University of Miami’s Bascom Palmer Eye Institute with repeated $100,000 awards, showing an interest in specialized medical care beyond its Los Angeles-area footprint. The pattern across recent grants points to sizable support for hospitals, health systems, and other organizations that serve patients directly. It has made general-support grants as well as program-specific gifts, including support for internship training and for organizations addressing cancer care and substance use disorder. Recipients range from tertiary-care medical centers to community-serving nonprofits, which suggests a mix of high-dollar institutional philanthropy and targeted support for defined programs. The foundation’s recent giving also includes multiple awards to the same organizations over several years, indicating ongoing relationships with some grantees rather than isolated one-time grants.
What Randall Family Foundation Funds
Medical and surgical care is the clearest throughline. The foundation gave $20,000,000 to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for the Surgery department and $100,000 to the University of Miami for Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, both of which point to support for specialized clinical infrastructure. It also funds education and training. Pepperdine University received $106,000 in 2024 and $100,000 in 2023 to support an internship program, indicating support for medical or professional training pathways. On the direct-service side, Community Cancer Fund received $100,000 to support cancer patients, their families, and the organizations serving them, while The Brent Shapiro Foundation for Drug Awareness received $25,000 to support the fight against drug and alcohol dependence. These grants show attention to patient support and behavioral-health concerns alongside hospital-centered giving.
