Versacare Inc. makes concentrated, institution-level gifts focused on postsecondary STEM education, demonstrated by a single six-figure grant to Loma Linda University. The foundation appears to prioritize supporting university programs—likely with an interest in STEM and potentially health-related science given the grantee's profile and location in Loma Linda, CA.
Versacare Inc. has a clear pattern of backing Adventist institutions, and its largest recent grant shows that emphasis in STEM education. In 2023, the foundation gave $300,000 to Loma Linda University for STEM education, a gift that points to university-level support rather than individual awards. The foundation’s recent grant list also includes repeated support for Adventist Health International, with gifts tied to the ministry and mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and, in 2025, to health work through Adventist Health International Global Medical. That mix places education, health, and church-affiliated service institutions at the center of its giving. The portfolio is not limited to one institution or one year. It includes grants to Florida Conference Office of Education and Florida Conference Association of Sda for education, North American Division of Sda for pastor mental health study and related programming, and International Children’s Care for adoption programs. Other awards reach into food assistance, burial support, mentorship, and religious media, suggesting a funder that supports a wide set of mission-aligned organizations through institutional grants.
Education is one of the clearest themes in Versacare Inc.’s recent grants. The foundation gave $150,000 to Florida Conference Office of Education for education, $60,000 to Andrews University for education, and $40,000 to Holbrook Indian School for education. Those awards show support for schools at different levels and in different settings. Health and wellness also appear in the portfolio. Versacare Inc. gave $125,000 to North American Division of Sda to support pastor mental health study, the End It Now program and the Sonscreen Film Fest, and $150,000 to Adventist Health International Global Medical for health. The foundation also funded direct service work: $100,000 to International Children’s Care for adoption programs, and $50,000 to The Unforgettables Foundation to provide burial expenses for low income families. Religious and church-community support is another recurring area, including $215,732 to Adventist Source for religious work and $42,000 to North Eastern Conference Sda for the Women’s Ministries Giging Into Mature Sisters program.
Versacare Inc.’s typical grant size is tightly clustered: the 25th percentile is $10,000, the median is $11,000, and the 75th percentile is $30,000. Recent giving also includes a smaller number of larger institutional awards, which lifts the annual total well above the typical grant level. The pattern includes repeat recipients across years, such as Adventist Health International, International Children’s Care, and several Adventist education and church bodies. That repetition suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-off support. The foundation does make unsolicited grants through multiple programs, including Venture Grant, K-12 Grant Program, Catalyst Grant, and the revised Versafund / Versacare Grant Program.

Highly concentrated: a single large, one-time grant to a university rather than many small grants; appears to favor institutional STEM program support over broad, distributed giving.
Notable grantees: Loma Linda University
Versacare Inc. gives nationally, with most grants landing in the United States and a meaningful share in Canada and the Caribbean and Central America. California accounts for 19% of grants, but the top state by grant count is Tennessee, showing that giving concentration does not track the headquarters location. Recent grants include Loma Linda, Altamonte Springs, Lincoln, Berrien Springs, and Chattanooga, which points to a wide spread across church, school, and health-system locations. Outside the United States, the country distribution includes Canada, the Dominican Republic, Chad, Jamaica, Bangladesh, São Tomé and Príncipe, Equatorial Guinea, and the Central African region.
Its recent grants center on Adventist institutions, schools, health-related organizations, and ministries. Examples include education grants to Florida Conference Office of Education, Andrews University, and Holbrook Indian School, plus support for Adventist Health International, church conferences, and service organizations such as International Children’s Care.
Yes. Several active programs accept unsolicited requests, including Venture Grant, K-12 Grant Program, Catalyst Grant, Journalism for Adventist Solutions, and the revised Versafund / Versacare Grant Program.
The grant-size distribution is centered at modest institutional awards: p25 is $10,000, the median is $11,000, and p75 is $30,000. The foundation also makes larger awards, including six-figure grants.
Its giving is national, with the highest grant count in Tennessee. California receives 19% of grants, and recent recipient locations also include Florida, Nebraska, Michigan, Georgia, Texas, Arizona, and Washington.
Recent grants show support for education, health, religious programming, adoption services, burial assistance for low-income families, mentorship for young men, and women’s ministries. Specific examples include education funding for schools and universities, health support for Adventist Health International Global Medical, and program support for pastor mental health and church-community media.
