The Oscar De La Hoya Foundation concentrates its giving on health and sports-related community causes, with a strong local emphasis in the Los Angeles area and ties to boxing/sports philanthropy. Recent grants show a willingness to make a single sizeable gift to healthcare providers alongside smaller gifts to athlete-linked nonprofits and regional sports community foundations. The foundation appears to prioritize direct support for medical services and nonprofit programs connected to boxing and athlete-led charitable initiatives.
Concentrated, low-volume giving: a few grants per cycle with one large gift to a healthcare provider and smaller supplemental gifts to sports/athlete-linked nonprofits rather than many small awards.
A $150,000 grant to Adventist Health White Memorial anchors the Oscar De La Hoya Foundation’s recent grantmaking and points to a clear pattern: the foundation backs local health infrastructure alongside sports-linked community philanthropy. Its grants in the file are all U.S.-based and all directed to California recipients, with support flowing to Los Angeles-area institutions and a smaller gift to a Las Vegas sports nonprofit. The foundation’s health giving centers on direct support for hospital services, including medical capacity and care delivery in East Los Angeles and Boyle Heights. On the sports side, it has supported an athlete-led charitable organization, the Sugar Ray Leonard Foundation, through general support. It also made a smaller grant to Vegas Force Foundation Org, showing that its sports-related giving extends beyond Los Angeles when the recipient aligns with community sports activity. The overall picture is of a locally focused foundation that combines community health, hospital support, and boxing-adjacent philanthropy. The grant record suggests a preference for direct, practical support rather than broad thematic dispersion, with grants aimed at organizations already operating in the communities it prioritizes.
In health care, the foundation gave $150,000 to Adventist Health White Memorial for general support, reflecting its emphasis on hospital services in Los Angeles. The active grant-program descriptions also point to breast cancer services, chemotherapy capacity, labor and delivery, and neonatal intensive care as part of that health focus. Education appears in its support for East Los Angeles youth and school-based initiatives through community grantmaking and charter-school-related programming. The program descriptions connect that work to student services, scholarships, and educational resources. Youth development is another visible theme. The foundation’s stated program areas include after-school programs and positive-outcome supports for East Los Angeles youth, as well as community opportunity and prevention efforts tied to gang violence, juvenile delinquency, and substance abuse prevention. Its sports philanthropy is reflected in the $44,700 general-support grant to Sugar Ray Leonard Foundation, linking the foundation to athlete-led charitable work.

The only grant-size distribution available is concentrated at a single level: p25, median, and p75 are all $44,700. That indicates a very tight middle range in the available record, even though one grant is much larger than the rest. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. The grant file shows repeated support for the same local mission area across program descriptions, but the recent grant list itself is limited to three grants, so the clearest pattern is a mix of one substantial hospital gift and smaller general-support awards. The grants shown are all general support, suggesting flexibility in how recipients can use the funds.
Grantmaking is local and entirely California-based in the available record: 100% of grants went to recipients in CA, and the top state by grant count is also CA. Los Angeles is the main recipient city, with one major grant to Adventist Health White Memorial in Los Angeles and program descriptions centered on East Los Angeles and Boyle Heights. The record also includes one grant to Woodland Hills and another to Las Vegas, Nevada, for a sports-related organization.
The foundation supports hospitals and health services, education and charter-school programming, youth development and after-school work, and sports-linked charitable organizations. The program descriptions also name cancer services, maternal and neonatal care, and community prevention efforts such as gang violence and substance abuse prevention.
The available grant-size statistics are tightly clustered at $44,700: p25, median, and p75 are all $44,700. That suggests the middle of the foundation’s grantmaking record is centered on a single grant size in the data provided.
Yes, in the available record it does. Geographic scope is listed as local, and 100% of grants went to recipients in California. The recent grants shown are in Los Angeles, Woodland Hills, and Las Vegas, with the grant count concentrated in CA.
The recent grants list shows general support for all three listed awards. The topic tags also describe unrestricted, general operating, core institutional, and non-program-specific funding, which points to flexible support rather than narrowly restricted project grants.
The recent-grants table names Adventist Health White Memorial, Sugar Ray Leonard Foundation, and Vegas Force Foundation Org. Those awards range from $20,000 to $150,000 in the available record.
