About Seattle Children's Hospital
Seattle Children's Hospital combines large-scale pediatric health spending with a strong research subaward model and targeted support for care delivery. Among the largest recent grants is a $16,466,133 contribution to Obcc Othello Qalicb for construction of a new integrated healthcare clinic in a low-income, medically underserved community. That same pattern appears in its support for academic medical centers and research institutions, including multi-million-dollar awards to the University of Washington and Oregon Health and Science University. The foundation’s giving also reaches beyond direct patient care into pediatric medical research, graduate education, internships, and insurance support. Recent awards include funding tied to juvenile myositis research, the Insight internship program at Harborview, and large insurance support grants to Children's University Medical Group. Across the recent grants list, Seattle Children's Hospital appears to fund both capital-intensive community health infrastructure and project-specific medical research, with pediatric patients and medically underserved communities as recurring beneficiaries.

Its community-health giving includes $16,466,133 to Obcc Othello Qalicb for construction of a new integrated healthcare clinic in a low-income, medically underserved community. In addition, it provided $7,885,506 to Children's University Medical Group for insurance support.
