White Memorial Medical Center (Adventist Health White Memorial) focuses its giving on local health access and community-serving initiatives in the Los Angeles area, with a strong emphasis on supporting uninsured/underinsured patients and safety-net health programming. Its grants also fund neighborhood-serving institutions and community engagement—particularly Latino-serving organizations, faith-based projects tied to the hospital, and youth/recreation groups—often through event sponsorships and modest operating or project support. The foundation’s portfolio mixes one large health-focused grant with numerous smaller sponsorships to local civic, cultural, educational, and faith partners.
White Memorial Medical Center dba Adventist Health White Memorial gives its largest recent grantmaking to uninsured and underinsured patient care, with one Sacramento-based health intermediary receiving $493,158 in 2023 and $180,271 in 2025 for that purpose. That pattern points to a funder centered on health access rather than broad charitable dispersal. The foundation’s recent grants also show repeated support for White Memorial SDA Church parking projects, including awards of $38,000 in 2023, $28,500 in 2024, and $29,000 in 2025. Beyond direct patient support and campus needs, the portfolio includes community-facing sponsorships for local health, civic, educational, and cultural organizations in Los Angeles County. Awards are generally modest, with a mix of larger health-related grants and many smaller sponsorships or general-support gifts. Recipients include the California Health Foundation and Trust, AltaMed Foundation, the YMCA of Metropolitan of LA, and Hispanas Org for Political Equality. The overall picture is of a public charity using grantmaking to support health access, neighborhood institutions, and community engagement around the hospital’s service area.
Health access is the clearest throughline in the grants. The foundation gave $493,158 in 2023 and $180,271 in 2025 to CA Hlth Foundation and Trust for uninsured and underinsured patients, making patient financial support a central use of funds. It also backed community health infrastructure through a $125,000 sponsorship to Altamed Foundation in 2025. Campus-related support appears in the repeated parking-project grants to White Memorial SDA Church, including $38,000 in 2023 and $29,000 in 2025. Civic and cultural engagement shows up in awards such as $25,000 to Hispanas Org for Political Eq in 2025 for event sponsorship, $10,000 to Los Angeles Area Chamber Comm in 2025, and $10,000 to La Plaza De Cultural Y Artes in 2025 for sponsorship.
Typical awards are modest: the grant-size distribution is p25 $11,500, median $15,000, and p75 $25,000. The distribution is consistent with a portfolio built around sponsorships, project support, and general support rather than large, frequent program grants. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including CA Hlth Foundation and Trust, White Memorial SDA Church, University of La Verne, Hispanas Org for Political Eq, and Baldridge Foundation, showing repeat support rather than one-time-only giving. The foundation is a public charity, not a private grantmaker focused on individuals, and it does not make program-related investments.
