Mission & Focus Areas
Rush states that its mission is to improve the health of the individuals and diverse communities it serves through outstanding patient care, education, research, and community partnerships.
Its 2025 grants were reported as general support. The grantees’ own descriptions illustrate the range of organizations supported: the Illinois Transplant Fund says it provides financial assistance for insurance premiums to help qualified participants access transplants and follow-up care; Bears Care supports programs in education, youth athletics, medical research, and health awareness, with an emphasis on breast and ovarian cancer; and Equal Hope works to address inequities in health care delivery for underserved and minority women. Other recipients include organizations whose stated missions involve economic equity, public health care, meals for cancer patients and families, and services for people experiencing homelessness.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2025, Rush reported 24 grants totaling $448,930. Grant amounts ranged from $5,000 to $150,000, with a median of $8,500. The largest reported awards included $150,000 to the Illinois Transplant Fund, $50,000 to Community Health, $32,000 to the Alzheimer’s Association, and $30,000 each to the National Multiple Sclerosis organization and Commercial Club Foundation. Each was listed for general support.
Rush University’s website describes philanthropic pilot funding for investigator-initiated research by Rush faculty, including basic, translational or clinical, health services, and community-focused projects. For the Rush to Progress pilot program, the website lists one-year awards of up to $50,000 and two-year awards of up to $100,000. Eligibility requires the principal investigator to hold an active Rush University faculty appointment at assistant professor rank or higher.
