What They Don't Fund
- The foundation does not accept unsolicited proposals
- Does not provide individual patient assistance
- Focus is specifically on health-related programs; non-health programs appear to be excluded
- Organizations must be U.S. 501(c)(3) charitable organizations or international charitable organizations qualified as equivalent to U.S. public charity, or have a 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsor
Application Method
The foundation operates primarily by invitation only, though it occasionally issues open calls for specific grant programs. Applications follow a two-step process:
- Organizations submit a concept note and required information
- Selected candidates are invited to submit a full project grant proposal
The Foundation accepts proposals on a rolling basis until funds are awarded. Grant periods are typically up to one year. Final decisions are made at the Foundation's sole discretion, sometimes with input from a volunteer Community Advisory Team.
Note: The foundation only makes contributions to preselected charitable organizations.
