Mission & Focus Areas
The foundation describes its aim as helping build a healthier tomorrow for people around the world. Its four pillars are advancing access to care, promoting a holistic model of healthcare, catalyzing innovative models for emergency preparedness and response, and building capacity to empower healthcare professionals.
The foundation’s 2025 filing describes direct charitable activity promoting integrated healthcare and interprofessional collaboration, including support for an oral health pavilion at the HLTH event and research on the return on investment of employers’ investments in integrated preventive care. The filing also describes its support for the Oral Health Advocacy Consortium, which works to expand Medicare coverage of oral care.
Its 2025 grantees illustrate the range of organizations it supports. The National Dental Association describes its mission as promoting oral health equity among people of color and mentoring dental students of color. Heart to Heart International says it works to improve healthcare access in medically under-resourced communities and disaster situations. MedShare International describes its work as delivering surplus medical supplies and equipment to communities in need. Special Olympics says it promotes inclusion through sports, health, and education programs, while the Institute for Exceptional Care describes its mission as transforming healthcare for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2025, the foundation reported 44 grants totaling $865,100. Grant amounts ranged from $1,000 to $162,000, with a median of $11,088.
