The Seattle Foundation administers the Medical Funds program to support medical research of potential benefit to the community and to address specific healthcare needs. Typically no more than $50,000 is disbursed to any one organization. Two types of grant funds are available to organizations/institutions through the Medical Funds program:

 

Medical Research Projects

Grants are available in the fields of cancer, cardio-pulmonary disease, multiple sclerosis and diabetes. Special consideration will be given to investigator-initiated research projects. Areas of interest include immunology, oncology, neurology, molecular biology and genetics.

• Grants will be given to requests for specific equipment.

• Preference will be given to organizations/institutions with the capacity to disseminate research findings and who receive regular support from other recognized funding sources (including the federal government).

• These funds are not to be used for patient care. Research activities can include patient care, but the primary

purpose of these grants is to support the purchase of equipment used in medical research.

• Highest priority will be given to equipment requests that benefit multiple investigators.

 

Projects Addressing the Healthcare Needs of Low‐Income Children

Grants are also available to organizations that are administering projects addressing the healthcare needs of low‐income children.

Grants will be given to requests for specific equipment and support for capital campaigns or facility renovation projects.
