About Altamed Health Services
Altamed Health Services Corporation’s recent giving centers on reducing health disparities in underserved communities, with a $1,000,000 grant in 2025 to Coalition to Protect Access to Healthcare as the largest award in the data. The pattern is consistent with its mission as the philanthropic arm of AltaMed Health Services Corporation: supporting access to comprehensive health and human services and addressing social determinants of health across Southern California. The grant list shows a mix of health access, workforce, advocacy, and community support organizations, including recurring support for National Medical Fellowships Inc and The Mayor's Fund for Los Angeles. The foundation’s H.E.L.P. Campaign frames much of this work, tying philanthropy to prevention, early intervention, community programs, and patient micro-grants. Many of the grants are aimed at organizations working in health equity and community-based intervention rather than direct service to individuals. That structure fits a public charity and pure DAF provider that appears to channel most of its giving through institutional partners serving underserved communities.
What Altamed Health Services Funds
Health equity is the clearest throughline in the grant list. In 2025, Altamed Health Services Corporation gave $205,000 to The Mayor's Fund for Los Angeles and $100,000 to Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, both tied to reducing health disparity in underserved communities. Workforce and pipeline support also appears in the data: the foundation awarded $243,002 and later $175,000 to National Medical Fellowships Inc, again for reduced health disparity in underserved communities. Community and civic partners show up as well, including $125,000 to Southwest Voter Registration Education Project Inc and $100,000 to Latino Victory Project, suggesting interest in broader conditions that shape access to care. The named focus areas in the foundation’s programs include primary care access, social determinants of health, prevention and early intervention, and community program support.
How Altamed Health Services Gives
Typical grants cluster at $10,000 at the 25th percentile, $15,000 at the median, and $25,000 at the 75th percentile, even though a few awards are much larger. The foundation’s recent record also shows repeat support across years: National Medical Fellowships Inc, Latino Victory Project, Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, Alliance in Mentorship, and Telacu Education Foundation each appear more than once in the grant list. Altamed Health Services Corporation is a public charity and a pure DAF provider. Its H.E.L.P. Campaign accepts unsolicited requests in one program description, while the community grants and foundation grants descriptions do not.
