To provide high-quality, affordable health care services and to improve the health of members and the communities they serve.
Kaiser Foundation Hospitals’ recent giving is marked by very large operating support to Kaiser Permanente Bernard J Tyson School of Medicine, including a $110,953,269 grant in 2025 and a $104,832,386 grant in 2023. That pattern points to a funder deeply tied to health system capacity, education, and community health infrastructure rather than a narrow one-time project model. Across the most recent grants list, the foundation also backs health care services, mental health workforce efforts, food and housing-related work, and local hospital and clinic partnerships. The scale is substantial even within a health-system context: annual grants given total $586,429,464, and the latest 990 year on file is 2025. Recent awards show recurring support for large institutional partners and smaller place-based organizations alike. St Josephs Foundation Of San Joaquin received multiple health care services grants across 2023, 2024, and 2025, while Oakland- and Bay Area-based organizations appear throughout the recent list in roles tied to health access, prevention, and community conditions. The foundation’s public charity status and local geographic scope reinforce a grantmaking pattern centered on communities it serves rather than national dispersion.
Healthcare delivery is a core theme in the recent grants list. Kaiser Foundation Hospitals gave $24,033,359 in 2025 to St Josephs Foundation Of San Joaquin for health care services, following prior awards of $19,672,818 in 2023 and $7,487,924 in 2024 for the same purpose. Community health work shows up in place-based grants such as $2,628,400 to La Clinica De La Raza Inc for Food Is Medicine In Oakland and $1,000,000 to Oakland Unified School District for The Central Kitchen, Instructional Farm And Educat. Housing-linked health support appears as well. The foundation gave $1,000,000 to City Of Vallejo for Homeless Navigation Center and $750,000 to New Venture Fund for Oakland Shallow Subsidy Homeless Prevention Pilot. Research and education are also part of the portfolio, including $3,806,149 to Regents Of The University Of California La for Research / Project Support and $1,243,926 to Health Research Inc for Research / Project Support.
Typical grant size sits at $20,000 at the 25th percentile, $25,000 at the median, and $50,000 at the 75th percentile, although the recent list also includes very large operating grants in the millions and tens of millions. The pattern is mixed: some recipients recur across multiple years, such as St Josephs Foundation Of San Joaquin and Pajaro Valley Healthcare District, while many grants are one-off awards tied to specific programs or facilities. The foundation is a public charity and a regular funder, not a DAF, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. No application process is described in the provided data.
