Through philanthropy and volunteerism, we cultivate relationships that result in high-quality healthcare for the benefit of our communities.
Saint Alphonsus Foundation-baker City Inc’s recent giving is centered on Baker City’s own medical center: $88,314 in 2024 and $28,351 in 2023 both went to Saint Alphonsus Medical Center-baker City for general support. That pattern fits a foundation whose stated purpose is to cultivate relationships through philanthropy and volunteerism so communities receive high-quality healthcare. The grant record shows a local funder that uses its resources to support hospital and clinical services, community health work, and mission-aligned care for patients and local community members. The foundation’s active programs reinforce that role. One channel is Community Benefit, described as community reinvestment through technologies, vital health services, and access programs. Another is the Saint Alphonsus Grants Program, a separate grant cycle tied to healthcare and community health. Across the recent grants available here, the foundation’s support stays within Oregon and is directed to Saint Alphonsus-affiliated healthcare work rather than a broad external grantmaking portfolio.
Community benefit is a central theme. Under its Community Benefit Ministry, the foundation describes reinvesting hospital and foundation resources into technologies, vital health services, and access programs tied to community health needs. Healthcare access and equity also appear in the active program descriptions, which include access to care and community needs assessment implementation for Saint Alphonsus’s service area in Idaho and Oregon. The Saint Alphonsus Grants Program is also explicitly tied to healthcare, community health, and organizational support. The foundation’s taxonomy points to preventive and restorative care, hospital and clinical services support, and spiritual/pastoral care and healing presence. Those categories match a grantmaking approach that combines direct service support with mission-aligned healthcare investments.
Typical grants cluster in the mid-five-figure range, with a p25 of $43,342, a median of $58,332, and a p75 of $73,323. The two recent grants listed are both to the same medical center in Baker City, suggesting repeated support for a local institution rather than a one-time award pattern. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its grant activity is local and fully concentrated in Oregon among the recipients shown. The Saint Alphonsus Grants Program was described as a closed cycle with a future cycle expected later, but unsolicited applications were not accepted in the scraped content.
