Mission & Focus Areas
AltaMed’s stated mission is to eliminate disparities in health care access and outcomes through an integrated health and human services delivery system for Latino, multi-ethnic, and underserved communities in Southern California.
Its 2024 filing describes programs in medical and dental care, senior services, HIV care, and youth services, alongside work on health equity, workforce development, and civic engagement. The filing says its grants are monitored through full reports from grantees on how funds are spent to accomplish charitable purposes. The listed 2024 grant purposes were to reduce health disparities in underserved communities.
The grantees’ own descriptions show support reaching organizations with varied missions. Protect Our Healthcare says it advocates for policies supporting California’s Medi-Cal safety net. The Mayor’s Fund for Los Angeles says it supports programs addressing homelessness and housing insecurity. National Medical Fellowships says it broadens pathways to medical education and supports leadership and inclusive clinical research. Southwest Voter Registration Education Project says it seeks to increase Latino and other minority participation in the democratic process. Other recipients included organizations whose stated missions concern Latino community advancement, health, and student development.

In 2024, AltaMed reported 54 grants totaling $2,720,500. Grant amounts ranged from $6,000 to $1,000,000, with a median of $17,500.
