About Zimmer Biomet Foundation

The Zimmer Biomet Foundation Inc has made movement and musculoskeletal health equity a clear throughline, with Movement Is Life Inc receiving $2,000,000 in 2024 and again $2,000,000 in 2025 for general operating support. That same pattern of sustained support appears alongside place-based funding in Warsaw, IN, where the foundation backed the City of Warsaw with $2,000,000 in 2023 and $500,000 in 2024 for renovation of the Warsaw Center Park Pavilion. The portfolio also shows a blend of health-disparities work and local civic investment, rather than a single-topic approach. In the health equity space, the foundation funded organizations such as Opm Education Inc Dba Nth Dimensions for work to address health disparities and assist in education, and it supported the NAACP Empowerment Programs Inc for civic and community matters. Employee-centered philanthropy is another visible thread, with grants to The Blackbaud Giving Fund for matching charitable contributions and to E4e Relief LLC for a team member relief fund. Taken together, the recent grants show a funder that combines national health-access priorities with community investments tied to its Warsaw footprint and workforce-related giving.

Opm Education Inc Dba Nth Dimensions received $275,000 in 2025, following $250,000 grants in both 2023 and 2024, for general support to address health disparities and assist in education. The J Robert Gladden Society Dba J Robert Gladden Orthopaedic Society also received support for health-disparities work and education, including $150,000 in 2025.
