We seek to improve the health outcomes of vulnerable populations in the Inland Empire of California and across the developing world.

To achieve this, we support programs that are transformational, evidence-based, and cost-effective across three primary areas:

  • Health and Health Equity in the Inland Empire region of California

  • Global Health

  • Disaster Relief & Preparedness

 

Established in 1989 by Dudley and Ceci Rauch, the Rauch Family Foundation has invested across a variety of charitable focus areas with the largest single gift to date going to Duke University Medical School to establish a needs-based scholarship program for Medical Students, made in honor of the foundation’s late founders.

A Health-Focused Mission: The Rauch Family Foundation
A Health-Focused Mission: The Rauch Family Foundation

To our valued partners and friends,

In 2019, the Rauch Family Foundation adopted a set of focus areas to help define our grant-making and provide a framework for decision-making rooted in the desire to fund cost-effective, evidence-based, and transformational projects, programs, and organizations.

In 2022, we undertook a review of these focus areas to focus our learning, increase the impact of our community investments, and develop areas of expertise unified under an approved strategic mission.

In 2024, we approved and adopted a mission statement that we hope will serve as our philanthropic compass and our guide, holding us on a steady course of accountability, in service of supporting some of the world’s most underserved and underrepresented communities.
