HEALTH
Health grantmaking includes the following four subcategories: General & Rehabilitative Health, Mental Health/Crisis Intervention, Multipurpose Health Associations/Services Associated with Specific Diseases/Disorders/Medical Disciplines (Multipurpose Health) and Medical Research. Health grant recipients include hospitals and health care centers, alcohol and drug abuse treatment centers, cancer associations and AIDS research organizations.
In 2005, the Health category received $74 million in grant dollars from grantmakers in the Giving in Minnesota sample, representing an 11-percent share of Minnesota's total grant dollars, with the General & Rehabilitative Health subcategory receiving the largest share of Health grants at 62 percent (see Figure AF).
Trends in Health Grantmaking
After a long-term trend of small increases in Health grantmaking that began in 1999, the share of Minnesota's grant dollars going to Health remained at 11 percent from 2004 to 2005. Health grantmaking at the national level has generally received at least a 50-percent higher share of grant dollars than in Minnesota, and this wide disparity continued in 2005 (see Table 15 and Figure AH).
While Health's share of the state's grant dollars remained unchanged in 2005, the amount of money given to Health decreased by 7 percent, from $80 million in 2004 to $74 million in 2005. This followed an increase of 44 percent between 2003 and 2004 (see Table 13 and Figure AG). The large increase in Health grantmaking in 2004 was due in large part to Blandin Foundation's one-time grant of $20 million to Grand Itasca Clinic & Hospital in 2004 and to nearly $5 million in one-time grants to Health from the E.M. Pearson Foundation as part of its payout of all of its assets that year. If the Health grantmaking of these two foundations was removed from the totals, Minnesota's Health grant dollars would have continued a steady increase in 2005.

Health Grantmaking by Grantmaker Type
Within the Giving in Minnesota sample, private foundations provided 47 percent of the state's Health's grant dollars in 2005; corporate foundations and giving programs, 34 percent; and community/public foundations, 19 percent (see Figure AI and Table 22).

Minnesota's corporate foundations and giving programs posted significant increases in their Health grantmaking in 2005, after a decline in the previous year. The share of Health grant dollars from corporate grantmakers increased from 20 percent in 2004 to 34 percent in 2005, as corporate grant dollars for Health grew by more than 50 percent.
In contrast, the share of Health grant dollars from private foundations dropped to 47 percent in 2005 from 63 percent in 2004, after the share had increased significantly from 2003. This large drop in private foundation giving to Health in 2005 is due in large part to the exceptional one-time Health grantmaking of the Blandin Foundation and E.M. Pearson in 2004, as mentioned on the previous page.
Unlike the other grantmaker types, community/public foundations' support for Health has remained fairly steady over the past three years.

Health Grantmaking by Subcategory
General & Rehabilitative Health received the largest share of Health grant dollars (62 percent) in 2005 (see Table 23 and Figure AJ). Multipurpose Health received the second-largest share of Health grants, although it was substantially lower (19 percent), followed by Medical Research (10 percent) and Mental Health/Crisis Intervention (8 percent).

Despite receiving the most grant dollars, General & Rehabilitative Health's share of 2005 Health grant dollars decreased by 4 percentage points from 2004 (from 66 percent to 62 percent), after an increase of 7 percentage points the previous year. This drop is due primarily to the Blandin Foundation's one-time $20-million grant to Grand Itasca Clinic & Hospital in 2004.
Support for Mental Health/Crisis Intervention also declined in 2005, as its share of Health grant dollars decreased by 7 percentage points (from 15 percent in 2004 to 8 percent in 2005) and its grant dollars dropped by nearly 50 percent. The 2005 decrease is due primarily to a change in how Minnesota Partnership for Action Against Tobacco categorized its giving that year.
In contrast, both the Multipurpose Health and Medical Research subcategories posted increases in their shares of Health grant dollars, following declines in the previous year. Specifically, Multipurpose Health's share increased from 12 percent in 2004 to 19 percent in 2005, and Medical Research's share increased from 8 percent in 2004 to 10 percent in 2005.
