About Poudre Valley Health Care
Poudre Valley Health Care Inc. is overwhelmingly focused on hospital and medical-system support, directing the vast majority of its resources to UCHealth and associated medical education programs. Its giving also supports regional healthcare partners and safety-net services in Northern Colorado (Fort Collins/Larimer County), with occasional grants to basic needs providers, local cultural organizations, and community foundations. The foundation’s profile is that of a health system anchor funder that also underwrites medical education and modest community health–adjacent investments.

Giving Approach
About Poudre Valley Health Care
Poudre Valley Health Care Inc. concentrates its largest grants on UCHealth Medical Group, with awards of $55.1 million in 2025, $61.2 million in 2024, and $43.3 million plus $37.7 million in 2023. That pattern makes the foundation's role clear: it functions as a major health-system supporter, moving substantial resources into hospital operations and related medical infrastructure. A second major line of giving supports medical education through the University School of Medicine in Aurora, where grants reached $5.5 million in 2025 and several million-dollar-plus amounts in prior years. The foundation also backs UCHealth Northern Colorado Foundation with repeated seven-figure and high six-figure awards, showing continued support for the regional health network around Fort Collins. Beyond those core commitments, its recent grants include smaller gifts to hospitals, local safety-net organizations, and community institutions in Northern Colorado and neighboring Wyoming. The overall picture is of a health-focused funder whose largest checks are tied to UCHealth while a smaller layer of grants reaches adjacent medical and community partners.
What Poudre Valley Health Care Funds
Medical system support dominates the portfolio. UCHealth Medical Group received four large grants in the recent record, including $55.1 million in 2025 and $61.2 million in 2024, pointing to sustained backing for the system's operations and capital needs. Medical education is another clear line of giving: the University School of Medicine in Aurora received $5.5 million in 2025 and multiple earlier grants in the millions. Regional hospital support also appears in Wyoming, where Cheyenne Regional Medical Center Foundation received $19,922 in 2024 and $19,187 in 2025, and Ivinson Memorial Hospital Foundation received $20,967 in 2025. The foundation also made smaller community-health related grants to Food Bank of Larimer County, Outreach Fort Collins, and United Way of Larimer County.
How Poudre Valley Health Care Gives
Grant sizes are highly polarized. The p25 is $12,096, the median is $19,922, and the p75 jumps to $852,029, reflecting a mix of modest local grants and very large institutional awards. Repeated awards to the same recipients across 2023, 2024, and 2025 show an ongoing relationship-based pattern rather than one-off giving. The foundation operates as a health-care related institutional funder and also makes program-related investments. Its recent grants are entirely to U.S. recipients.
