Philanthropy in Healthcare: A Lasting Impact
Making a lasting impact through philanthropy in healthcare.
The Wilbur May Foundation has long been committed to advancing healthcare through targeted philanthropic investment. Our work spans pediatric care, emergency medicine, and vision services — each initiative driven by the belief that access to quality healthcare is a fundamental need.
Investing in Pediatric Care
Our $5 million endowment at Renown Children’s Hospital in Northern Nevada was the first of its kind at the institution, funding pediatric care, research, and programs that serve families across the region. Similarly, our $1 million donation to the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation advances critical pediatric IBD research.
Emergency Care at Cedars-Sinai
A combined $12 million donation from the Douglas Foundation and the Wilbur May Foundation is fueling the expansion of Cedars-Sinai’s Emergency Department — ensuring that one of the nation’s leading hospitals can continue to serve the growing needs of Los Angeles.
Community Vision Care
Through our support of the UCLA Mobile Eye Clinic, we help bring free vision care services to underserved communities across Los Angeles. This is healthcare meeting people where they are — literally.
