The foundation runs a multi-channel fundraising platform spanning online donations, monthly recurring giving, phone and mail contributions, planned/legacy giving with Heritage Circle recognition, grateful patient programs, corporate partnerships, and cryptocurrency donations via The Giving Block.

The foundation is governed independently of Orlando Health with its own EIN (59-2244943) and leadership (Foundation President Matt Lilly; Senior Director Lizzy Moyer). Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the foundation does not sell products or services and operates entirely on voluntary philanthropic contributions. There is no parent company, private equity ownership, or venture backing; the entity is structured as a public charity.

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Tampa General Hospital Foundation: Tampa General Hospital Foundation raises philanthropic support for Tampa General Hospital, a major academic health system in West Florida. It competes with Orlando Health Foundation - West Florida for regional hospital philanthropy donors in the Tampa Bay area, particularly as Orlando Health expands into Wesley Chapel.
• Nemours Children's Health Foundation: Nemours Children's Health operates pediatric hospitals in Florida (Orlando and Jacksonville) and Delaware, with a foundation model focused on children's health philanthropy. It directly competes with Orlando Health Arnold Palmer for pediatric donors in Central Florida and shares the CMN affiliation model.
• AdventHealth Foundation: AdventHealth Foundation is the philanthropic arm of AdventHealth, a major not-for-profit hospital system headquartered in Altamonte Springs, Florida, directly competing with Orlando Health Foundation for Florida-based healthcare philanthropy. Both serve similar donor segments across Central Florida and operate CMN-affiliated programs.
• Bayfront Health Foundation (predecessor): Bayfront Health Foundation, now part of Orlando Health Foundation - West Florida, was the dedicated fundraising arm for Bayfront Hospital in St. Petersburg before consolidation. It is directly comparable to the Orlando Health Foundation model and provides historical reference for West Florida fundraising operations.

Broad incumbents

• St. Jude Children's Research Hospital / ALSAC: ALSAC is the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and represents the gold standard for pediatric hospital philanthropy at scale. It offers a comparable model for a single-hospital foundation raising national funds for children's health.
• Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Foundation: Cedars-Sinai's philanthropy program raises funds for the Los Angeles-based health system, which operates a freestanding children's hospital model similar to Orlando Health Arnold Palmer. As a large, established health system foundation, it provides a benchmark for capital campaign scale and corporate partnership development.
• Shriners Children's: Shriners Children's operates a network of pediatric specialty hospitals funded through philanthropy, with a long-standing fraternal fundraising infrastructure. It shares the model of hospital-based philanthropy and specialty pediatric care, though it is structured as a multi-hospital system rather than a local foundation.
• Johns Hopkins Medicine Foundation: Johns Hopkins Medicine Foundation is the fundraising arm of one of the nation's most prestigious academic medical centers. While much larger and more nationally focused, it operates the same model: dedicated philanthropic entity raising funds for hospital programs, research, and capital projects.

Others

• Arnold Palmer Medical Center Foundation (historical): The Arnold & Winnie Palmer Foundation supports pediatric cancer research and treatment at Orlando Health's Haley Center. It is one of the foundation's flagship partners and illustrates the relationship between named hospital foundations and the central fundraising entity.
• Children's Miracle Network Hospitals (CMN): CMN is the national umbrella organization coordinating fundraising for 170+ member children's hospitals including Orlando Health Arnold Palmer. It is a critical partner and ecosystem enabler for the foundation, rather than a direct competitor, but its national strategy shapes the foundation's pediatric fundraising capacity.
