TMC Health Foundation supports the charitable mission of TMC Health to provide exceptional health care with compassion to Southern Arizona.
Tucson Medical Center’s recent grant history is defined by large support awards that stay in Southern Arizona. The biggest grant on file is $10,692,901 to the City of Tucson for support, and the second and third-largest grants also stay local: $6,318,541 and $4,781,299 to Pima Animal Care Center. That pattern fits the foundation’s charitable mission to support TMC Health’s work in exceptional health care and compassion for the region, with giving centered on hospitals, patient care, community health, hospice, planned giving, and children’s health. The foundation also funds arts-based programs inside TMC Health sites, including two active programs that pay artists and musicians and support healing environments for patients, visitors, and staff. Recent grant recipients show the range of its local partnerships, from municipal support to health- and community-serving institutions.
A major theme in the foundation’s giving is hospital and community support. In 2025, it gave $10,692,901 to the City of Tucson for support, showing how its institutional grantmaking can reach beyond the hospital itself while remaining rooted in local service. Another clear thread is support for animal and community care infrastructure: Pima Animal Care Center received $4,781,299 in 2024 and $6,318,541 in 2023, both listed as support grants. The foundation also invests in healing arts inside TMC Health sites through year-round paid artist and musician opportunities in the Community Creatives program. Its TMC Health Healing Art Program supports acquisition, framing, installation, and maintenance of visual art, along with musicians and arts programming across TMC Health locations.
Tucson Medical Center’s typical grant size is in the multi-million-dollar range, with a p25 of $5,165,610, a median of $5,549,920, and a p75 of $5,934,230. The recent record shows repeated support to the same recipient across multiple years, including two grants to Pima Animal Care Center in 2023 and 2024, which suggests recurring local relationships rather than one-off awards only. The foundation is a public charity, does not fund individuals, and does not make program-related investments. It also accepts unsolicited applications for its two active art-related programs.
