The mission of Baptist Health is to improve the health and well-being of individuals, and to promote the sanctity and preservation of life, in the communities we serve. Baptist Health is a faith-based organization guided by the spirit of Jesus Christ and the Judeo-Christian ethic. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of clinical and service excellence, enhanced through teaching, research and innovation, and rooted in the utmost integrity and moral practice. Consistent with its spiritual foundation, Baptist Health is dedicated to providing high-quality, cost-effective, compassionate healthcare services to all, regardless of religion, creed, race or national origin, including, as permitted by its resources, charity care to those in need.
Baptist Health South Florida Foundation Inc’s recent giving is dominated by large operating and capital awards to Baptist Health facilities across South Florida, including a $7,737,699 grant to Miami Cancer Institute at Baptist Health Inc in 2025. The pattern points to a system-level funder that supports hospitals, outpatient services, and medical groups rather than individual applicants. Its largest awards also reached Baptist Health Medical Group Inc, Baptist Hospital of Miami Inc, and Baptist Health South Florida Inc, showing repeated support for core delivery infrastructure. The foundation’s grantmaking aligns with Baptist Health’s stated mission to improve health and well-being in the communities it serves, with emphasis on clinical excellence, teaching, research, and innovation. In the recent grants list, support extends to cancer care, hospital operations, and property and equipment acquisitions, alongside operating grants that keep major care sites running. Awards also reached facilities in Miami, Coral Gables, Boynton Beach, Homestead, Marathon, and Tavernier, indicating a local health-system focus rather than broad national philanthropy. Its public program descriptions add another layer: donor-funded research support and an innovation fellowship sit alongside the operational grants that appear in the grant list. That combination suggests a foundation used to reinforce both day-to-day healthcare delivery and selected research and innovation activity within Baptist Health.
Cancer care is a visible priority. The foundation gave $6,159,877 in 2024 to Miami Cancer Institute at Baptist Health Inc for operations, property and equipment acquisitions, and also awarded $3,896,773 in 2023 to the same institute for the same purpose. That pattern shows sustained support for a major oncology site within the Baptist Health system. Healthcare delivery across the network is another clear theme. Baptist Health Medical Group Inc received $4,501,584 in 2025 for operations, property and equipment acquisitions, while Baptist Hospital of Miami Inc received $5,733,467 in 2024 for the same broad operational category. These awards point to funding that helps maintain clinical capacity and physical infrastructure. The foundation also supports community-facing hospitals outside Miami proper. Mariners Hospital Inc in Tavernier, Fishermens Health Inc in Marathon, and Homestead Hospital each appear in the recent grants list, showing attention to care delivery in multiple South Florida communities.

Typical grant size is substantial: the 25th percentile is $274,578, the median is $743,241, and the 75th percentile is $2,257,984. Recent awards cluster around operations and property/equipment acquisitions, with several operating-only grants mixed in. The same organizations recur across multiple years, including Miami Cancer Institute at Baptist Health Inc, Baptist Health Medical Group Inc, Baptist Hospital of Miami Inc, Doctors Hospital, Bethesda Hospital Inc, Homestead Hospital, Fishermens Health Inc, Mariners Hospital Inc, and South Miami Hospital Inc. This is a foundation embedded in a hospital system, not a funder making open-call awards to external applicants. The active program list also shows that unsolicited applications are not accepted for the donor-funded research program and fellowship program, while the global programs collaboration pathway does accept unsolicited inquiries.
Giving is overwhelmingly concentrated in Florida: 98% of grants go to recipients in the HQ state, and the top state by grant count is FL. The recipient locations in the recent grants list are all in-state, with Coral Gables appearing frequently alongside Miami, Boynton Beach, Homestead, Marathon, Tavernier, and South Miami. That distribution matches a local health-system grantmaker. No non-U.S. recipient countries appear in the grant list.

Healthcare delivery is the clearest theme, with repeated awards for operations and property/equipment acquisitions across hospitals and medical groups. Cancer care also stands out through Miami Cancer Institute at Baptist Health Inc, and the program descriptions add research, innovation, cardiovascular care, neurosciences, orthopedics, and community benefit and free clinics.
