Dignity Health’s largest recent grants are internal and operational, centered on support for Dignity Health Medical Foundation in Rancho Cordova, California. The three biggest awards in the record are $256,217,992 in 2024, $178,270,484 in 2023, and $157,317,701 in 2025, all labeled medical foundation support. That pattern points to a funder that moves substantial resources through health-system and foundation channels rather than only making small external awards. Beyond those flagship grants, the foundation also backs clinic and hospital infrastructure, community health, and medical foundation strengthening. Recent examples include $38,407,952 to Pacific Central Coast Health Centers in Santa Maria for clinic support and $13,396,569 to Dignity Community Care in San Francisco for hospital support. The recipient list also includes health education, professional training, and foundation support awards, showing a mix of direct service support and organizational support. The grant record is large in scale and concentrated in health-related institutions. With annual grants of $927,483,594 and total assets of $18,758,289,521, Dignity Health operates as a major regional health funder with a strong emphasis on patient care, community health, and the organizations that deliver those services.
Community health is a recurring theme in the record. Dignity Health gave $19,505,000 to Morehouse School of Medicine Inc in 2023 for community health, then followed with $15,000,000 in 2024 for the same purpose. Education support is another visible area. The foundation awarded $9,732,500 to Arizona State University in 2023, $7,807,500 in 2024, and $7,975,000 in 2025, all for education support, and also gave $9,550,000 to the University of Arizona in 2025 for education support. Health-system capacity appears in several awards. Dignity Health granted $3,910,000 to Maricopa County Special Health Care District in 2024 for community health, while $3,543,571 went to St Rose Dominican Health Foundation in 2025 for foundation support. These grants show attention to both service delivery and the institutions that support it.
Typical grant size in the file is $20,000 at the 25th percentile, $50,000 at the median, and $100,000 at the 75th percentile, but the distribution includes very large health-system awards far above that range. The recent record also shows repeated grants to the same recipients across multiple years, especially Dignity Health Medical Foundation, Dignity Community Care, Arizona State University, University of Arizona, Barrow Neurological Foundation, and Maricopa County Special Health Care District. Dignity Health is a regular funder and also makes program-related investments. The provided data does not indicate an application process.
