Health Care grants in California (page 1 of 2)
82 private foundations fund health care in California and will read a proposal you were not invited to send. Between them they gave $131M in their most recent filings. A typical grant from this group is around $10K.
Worked out from where the money actually went rather than from mission statements, and from the box on each filing that says whether they take applications at all. Most small foundations give almost entirely within one state, which is why this cut is the one worth starting from.
