To contribute to the prevention and cure of cancer.
A defining feature of H Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute Hospital Inc is the scale of its support for its own cancer center operations: the largest recent grants are intercompany support transfers of $20,576,930 in 2024 and $10,576,932 in 2023 to affiliated Moffitt entities in Tampa. That pattern sits alongside smaller sponsorship grants to local organizations, showing a mix of internal support and externally directed, partnership-based giving. The foundation’s stated purpose is to contribute to the prevention and cure of cancer, and its active grant programs point to that mission through support for cancer research, clinical trials, prevention and screening, clinical care, and research training. Recent grant recipients include Usf Foundation Inc and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, both in Tampa, which reflects a local grantmaking footprint centered in Florida. The leadership listed is Sarabdeep Singh. In practice, the foundation appears to fund through restricted sponsorships, affiliate support, and research-oriented programs tied to oncology and related medical work. Its grantmaking combines very large internal allocations with much smaller community-facing awards, all within a Florida-only recipient pattern.
Cancer research is a core theme. Among the active programs is The Gateway for Cancer Research, which funds clinical trials and translational research to accelerate novel therapies into practice. Another research-oriented program is the Prostate Cancer Foundation’s Young Investigator Awards, which support early-career investigators doing translational prostate cancer research. Clinical and patient-care support also appears in the program list. The Rita & Alex Hillman Foundation’s Innovations in Care program backs nursing-driven models that improve care for vulnerable populations, including maternal and child health, older adults, and chronic illness management. The foundation also supports broader biomedical science. Human Frontier Science Program research grants and young investigator awards fund basic research by international teams, spanning biomolecular studies to whole-organism research. The Army Research Office and USAMRMC opportunities show interest in basic and applied scientific and medical research as well.

The grant-size profile is highly uneven: p25 is $50,000, median grant size is $82,000, and p75 reaches $10,576,932, reflecting a structure that includes both modest sponsorships and very large affiliate transfers. The recent grants list shows repeated intercompany support in consecutive years, indicating recurring support to affiliated entities rather than one-off awards only.

Its giving style is partnership-driven and restricted, with a visible emphasis on sponsorships, affiliate support, and corporate-aligned support rather than open-ended grantmaking.
