TLC Foundation From The Heart concentrates its giving on health care institutions and medical education, favoring large, targeted gifts to hospitals and research centers that deliver patient care, medical training, and research — particularly cancer care. It also supports faith‑based long‑term care for the elderly. Grants are few but substantial, often made repeatedly to the same organizations and focused regionally on hospital systems and major Texas medical centers.
Tlc Foundation From the Heart’s largest recent gifts go to major medical institutions, with $1.6 million each to Umc Foundation Umc Health Systems in 2023 and 2025. That pattern sits alongside seven-figure support for cancer care and clinical training, including University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and Baylor College of Medicine. The foundation also backs elder care and community-based services in southeastern New Mexico, where Lakeview Christian Home received $1 million for spiritual, medical, social, emotional, and physical support for older adults and people with long-term medical needs. The grant record shows a mix of hospital systems, cancer centers, schools, and local organizations, but the largest checks are reserved for patient care, education of health care professionals, research, and community service. In New Mexico, the foundation also funds place-based institutions such as Artesia General Hospital, Artesia Recreation Center, and programs serving families in Artesia, Carlsbad, and Roswell. Across the recent grants, the common thread is direct support for health services, medical education, and practical community assistance.
Health care dominates the foundation’s recent giving. It gave $1.6 million to Umc Foundation Umc Health Systems for patient care, education of health care professionals, research, and community service, and $137,500 to Artesia General Hospital for innovative health care services to families in Artesia, southeastern New Mexico, and beyond. Cancer care is another clear emphasis. University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center received $1.3 million in 2025 and $1 million in 2023, both for cancer patient care, research, and prevention through education. The foundation also supports education and training. Baylor College of Medicine received $1 million in 2025 and $100,000 in 2023 to further education, while Roswell Independent School District - Goddard High School received $50,000 for tutors, a tutoring center, supplies, advertisement materials, and student incentives. Community and family services appear in local grants such as Haven of Hope and Boys and Girls Club of Carlsbad.
Typical grants cluster at meaningful but targeted levels: the 25th percentile is $10,000, the median is $50,000, and the 75th percentile is $100,000. The record includes both seven-figure gifts and smaller community grants, with a heavy concentration of recurring support to a limited set of recipients. Umc Foundation Umc Health Systems and University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center each appear in multiple years, as do Baylor College of Medicine, Haven of Hope, Faith Baptist Church, Boys and Girls Club of Carlsbad, Wings for Life, and Assurance Home. The foundation does not fund individuals and is not making program-related investments.
