About Shands Teaching Hospital and Clinics
A pair of grants above $128 million to the University of Florida, both marked support for a medical program, make Shands Teaching Hospital and Clinics Inc a foundation whose largest recent commitments are tied directly to academic medicine. The next-largest awards also reinforce that pattern: more than $70 million in 2024 and nearly $68.1 million in 2023 went to the Florida Clinical Practice Association for clinical practice support. Those commitments sit alongside smaller grants to patient-service and education organizations, showing a funder that supports both large-scale medical operations and the surrounding care infrastructure. The foundation’s recent record also includes repeated support for Florida Essential Healthcare Partnerships Foundation, which received multimillion-dollar program support in both 2023 and 2024. In the same period, it funded entities connected to health professions education, pediatric acute care, cancer patient services, and transition services. Together, the grants point to a health-system-related funder that channels substantial resources into medical programs, clinical operations, and training-linked support, with much of that activity centered in Florida. The 2024 filing shows annual grants of $458,480,699 and total assets of $3,002,393,582, underscoring the scale behind those commitments.
