About Nemours Foundation
A $45,000,000 donation to Adventist Health Systems-sunbelt Inc in Orlando stands out in The Nemours Foundation’s recent grantmaking, and it matches the scale of a funder with more than $100 million in annual grants. The foundation’s giving centers on child health: pediatric healthcare, pediatric research, clinical trials, patient and family support, and prevention and public health education. Its portfolio also includes support for community health and social determinants of health, along with awards tied to cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and mental health. Recent grants show a mix of major institutional support and smaller program grants, with recurring relationships visible across organizations in Florida, Delaware, and beyond. Ucf Foundation received $4,275,597 in 2025, pointing to a substantial commitment to pediatric-related work or institutional partnership in Orlando. Other awards reach children and families through health systems, community groups, and education-related organizations, consistent with the foundation’s stated emphasis on child and adolescent health across clinical and community settings.

In prevention and public health education, it gave $83,284 to Blessings in a Backpack in Jacksonville in 2024 and $45,000 to Healthy Foods for Healthy Kids in Wilmington in 2025, showing attention to child nutrition and community-based prevention. The foundation also supports behavioral health and family-facing services: Mental Health Assocociation of Central Florida received $61,000 in 2025, and Peace and Justice Institute Inc received $60,000 that same year. Education-linked giving appears as well, including $105,000 to Orange County Public Schools in Orlando in 2024.

Typical grant size is modest relative to the foundation’s overall annual giving: the p25 is $10,000, median $13,925, and p75 $30,000. The recent list also includes several much larger awards, showing that the foundation can make both program-sized grants and major institutional donations. Recurring support is present: Adventist Health Systems-sunbelt Inc appears in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and Ronald Mcdonald House of Delaware appears in multiple years as well. The foundation’s active Grants & Awards program is internal, supports pediatric research and programmatic initiatives, and does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
