About Empire Health Foundation
Empire Health Foundation concentrates on improving health and aging services in rural Eastern Washington and for Native communities, funding organizations that expand clinical services, care coordination, and workforce capacity. Grants are large, targeted investments supporting regional tribal health, integrated medication management for older adults, long-term care infrastructure, and health workforce education tied to WSU Spokane. The foundation appears mission-driven toward practical, systems-level improvements that keep seniors healthy in place and grow the local health workforce.

About Empire Health Foundation
Empire Health Foundation’s largest recent awards show a clear pattern: it funds practical health and aging interventions that tie clinical care to local infrastructure in Eastern Washington. In 2023, it gave $308,000 to Alliance for Integrated Medication Mgt for rural aging work and $293,666 to the Kalispel Tribe of Indians for rural aging support. Those grants point to a strategy centered on older adults, Native communities, and service systems that help people remain in place. The foundation also backs organizations that connect health access with workforce development. A $266,000 grant to Aging & Long-term Care of Eastern WA supported this same rural aging focus, while $250,000 went to Wsu Health Sciences Spokane for native workforce education. Additional recent grants include support for integrated medication management, care coordination, family preservation, and health-related community programs across Eastern Washington. Empire Health Foundation’s recent grants suggest a funder that makes targeted, often substantial awards to organizations working on concrete service delivery and capacity needs rather than broad, unrestricted philanthropy. Its grantmaking repeatedly reaches tribal partners, health systems, and local nonprofits serving older adults, families, and communities facing health inequities.
What Empire Health Foundation Funds
Rural aging is a core theme in Empire Health Foundation’s grantmaking. It awarded $185,137 to Latinos En Spokane for the Acativa Tu Salud elder health coaching program, and it also funded older-adult service systems through grants such as the $266,000 award to Aging & Long-term Care of Eastern WA. Native and tribal communities appear throughout the recent grants. The foundation gave $80,500 to Spokane Tribal Network for collaboration with ICHM Lifecycles model consultants, and it supported Spokane Tribe - Health and Human Services with $75,000 for family preservation. Family preservation and healing-centered services are another visible area. Grants included $47,000 to Spectrum for healing families and family preservation, and $42,000 to New Developed Nations for healing families. The foundation also funds housing and equitable-economy work. A $41,400 grant to Take Up the Cause supported the Black Homeownership Spokane Initiative, while $28,317 went to Jewels Helping Hands for homelessness.
