John Patrick Albright Foundation
The organization is a private foundation focused on funding medical research, specifically cardiomyopathy research. Its mission appears to center around advancing knowledge and treatment options for this heart condition. The foundation supports institutions engaged in disease research, exemplified by its grant to the University of Colorado Foundation. While it is based in West Virginia, its funding has primarily been directed out of state.

Ideal Applicant
An established institutional applicant (such as a university or medical research foundation) running cardiomyopathy or related disease research and already known to the funder or its leadership.
Good Fit
- • Work in cardiomyopathy or closely related disease research.
- • Institutional fiscal sponsorship (university, research foundation) able to receive $25K+ awards.
- • An existing relationship or introduction to the foundation officer or family.
Geography
Observed giving is limited to a single out-of-state grant (Colorado) in the latest active year while the foundation is registered in West Virginia; available history shows a very narrow geographic footprint.
Recipient Variety
Only one distinct recipient was funded in the observed history (a single $25,000 grant in 2022) and there were no recipients in 2023, so the observed recipient set is very small.
New Applicants
The foundation's filings and application settings indicate grants are by preselection/invitation only and there is no public application route; direct evidence of accepting unfamiliar applicants is absent.
