The recent-grants list also shows a small number of much larger institutional awards, especially to universities and major health organizations.

Upmc Group is a regular funder rather than a donor-advised fund, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The active community-benefits programs are not described as accepting unsolicited applications.
