About Y C Hohelen and Michael Chiang Foundation
The Y C Hohelen and Michael Chiang Foundation’s recent giving is dominated by donor-advised fund transfers, especially to Fidelity Charitable Gift Fund’s giving account 1011752. That pattern sets the tone for the foundation’s public grant record: most recorded support is discretionary capital routed through Fidelity-managed charitable accounts, with a smaller set of direct mission-related grants tied to serious illness care. Among the direct gifts, the foundation has backed palliative care training at NewYork-Presbyterian Fund Inc and general support for the Center to Advance Palliative Care at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. It has also supported advanced practice provider fellowships in pain and palliative care at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, indicating a clear interest in workforce development inside serious-illness care settings. The grant list shows repeated support across multiple years rather than isolated one-off gifts. Recipients include medical schools, hospitals, and specialized centers, alongside donor-advised channels used to move philanthropic assets. The foundation’s reported annual grants total $14.2 million and its asset base is $86.8 million, placing its philanthropy at a substantial scale while still showing a concentrated set of recurring themes.
What Y C Hohelen and Michael Chiang Foundation Funds
A central theme is palliative care workforce development. The foundation gave $200,000 to NewYork-Presbyterian Fund Inc for a palliative care chaplain fellowship and curriculum dissemination, and $120,000 to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center for an advanced practice provider fellowship in pain and palliative care. Those grants point to training and curriculum-building rather than one-time service subsidies. Another topic is pediatric palliative and hospice care. Grants include $100,000 to Children's Hospital Corporation dba Boston Children's Hospital for a pediatric advanced care team social work fellowship, and $100,000 to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Foundation for pediatric hospice and palliative medicine fellowship training. The foundation also supported Hassenfeld Children's Hospital at NYU Langone Hospitals for a pediatric palliative care senior social worker. It also funds research and clinical innovation in serious-illness care.
