    About Allina Health System

    Allina Health System’s giving stands out for a sustained commitment to cardiovascular research and education. The largest recent grant in the file went to Minneapolis Heart Institute for $2,208,737 in 2024, followed by additional support of $1,975,000 in 2023 and $1,975,000 in 2025 to Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation for the same purpose. That long-running pattern sits alongside a broader portfolio tied to community health improvement, including mental health and wellness, substance abuse prevention and recovery, access to culturally responsive care, housing stability, healthy food, and transportation. The foundation also backs organizations serving specific community needs through general support and targeted program funding. Minnesota Community Healthcare Network received three consecutive grants from 2023 to 2025, while Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis received repeated general support in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Other recent awards connect to Division of Indian Work, Walk-in Counseling Center, Free Bikes 4 Kidz, and Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative, showing a local grantmaker that pairs institution-level health giving with community-based support across multiple service areas.
