The Rauch Family Foundation concentrates its giving on high-impact global health and humanitarian interventions while also making substantial investments in local healthcare services in its Inland Empire/California community. They favor large, unrestricted grants to evidence-driven global health organizations (malaria control, vitamin A supplementation, trachoma elimination, and emergency food assistance) alongside sizeable restricted gifts to regional hospitals and blood services. The foundation repeatedly funds a small set of preferred international partners and couples that with multi-million-dollar support for local health infrastructure.
The Rauch Family Foundation pairs high-dollar global health funding with sustained support for hospitals and clinics in California’s Inland Empire. Its recent giving shows a clear preference for evidence-driven interventions: repeated grants to GiveWell Malaria Consortium, Helen Keller’s vitamin A supplementation work in Madagascar, and the Carter Center’s trachoma interventions in Sudan sit alongside major awards for local medical infrastructure. The foundation also funds emergency food aid through World Food Program USA, showing that humanitarian response is part of the portfolio, not a one-off theme. On the regional side, the foundation supports healthcare providers and health systems that serve Inland Empire communities, including Providence St Mary Medical Center, Dignity Health-SBMC, Arrowhead Regional Medical Center Foundation, and California University of Science & Medicine. Some of those awards are restricted and tied to specific purposes, while others are unrestricted annual gifts. The pattern suggests a funder that works at two scales at once: international disease control and nutrition programs on one hand, and local access to care, blood services, and training pipelines on the other. The Rauch Family Foundation also includes a smaller arts component, but health clearly anchors the grantmaking profile.
In global health, the foundation backs disease-control work with multiple grants to GiveWell Malaria Consortium, including $1.3 million in 2023, $1.02 million in 2024, and an $880,000 restricted award in 2025. It also supported the Clinton Health Access Initiative through GiveWell with $800,000 in 2025. Nutrition and food access are another clear theme. The foundation gave World Food Program USA $1.58 million in 2024, $1.5 million in 2025, and $850,000 in 2023, then added $500,000 in 2024 to Evidence Action for water chlorination in India via GiveWell. Neglected tropical disease work appears in grants to the Carter Center for trachoma interventions in Sudan, including $1 million in 2025 and $600,000 in both 2023 and 2024. Locally, the foundation supported Feeding America Riverside & San Bernardino Counties with $503,000 in 2024 and $500,000 in 2025.
Typical awards are mid-sized to large, with a p25 of $15,000, a median of $67,500, and a p75 of $196,750. That distribution sits below the foundation’s largest recent gifts, which reach into the multi-million-dollar range for select health and humanitarian partners. The grant list also shows repeated support across multiple years for several recipients, indicating an annual or recurring pattern rather than one-off giving. The foundation uses both unrestricted annual gifts and restricted annual gifts, and it also makes some designated program support. The organization funds individuals and maintains a regional grantmaking scope. Its general grantmaking includes an unsolicited application channel, while several specific programs do not accept unsolicited requests.

Concentrated portfolio of a small number of very large grants, mixing repeat unrestricted multi-year gifts to major international aid and evidence-based global health organizations with one-off large restricted grants to local healthcare providers.
Notable grantees: GiveWell Malaria Consortium, World Food Programme (USA), Helen Keller (via GiveWell) — vitamin A supplementation, The American Red Cross - Inland Empire Blood Clinic, Carter Center — trachoma interventions
Grant activity is overwhelmingly California-centered: 74% of grants go to recipients in the HQ state, and California is also the top state by grant count. Within that pattern, Inland Empire cities and nearby Southern California locations appear often, including Riverside, San Bernardino, Apple Valley, Colton, and Los Angeles. The foundation also gives to out-of-state national intermediaries such as Washington, DC, New York, and Atlanta, but those are fewer than the California awards. All listed recipient-country data in the provided grant set are in the US.
The foundation funds both global health and local healthcare access. Recent grants include malaria control through GiveWell Malaria Consortium, vitamin A supplementation work in Madagascar through Helen Keller via GiveWell, trachoma interventions in Sudan through the Carter Center, and healthcare support for Inland Empire providers such as Providence St Mary Medical Center and Dignity Health-SBMC.
Yes. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including World Food Program USA in 2023, 2024, and 2025; GiveWell Malaria Consortium in 2023, 2024, and 2025; and the Carter Center trachoma project in 2023, 2024, and 2025. That pattern points to recurring annual support for selected partners.
Typical grants are much smaller than the foundation’s largest awards. The grant-size distribution shows a p25 of $15,000, a median of $67,500, and a p75 of $196,750.
Some can. The foundation’s general grantmaking program accepts unsolicited applications, while several named programs, including Health & Health Equity in the Inland Empire, Medical Student Scholarships & Medical Education Support, Disaster Relief & Preparedness Grants, and Global Health Grants, do not accept unsolicited requests.
California receives most of the grants, and 74% of grants go to recipients in the HQ state. Recipient cities that appear frequently include Riverside, San Bernardino, Apple Valley, Colton, Los Angeles, and Oakland.
