About Americares Foundation
Americares Foundation Inc funds ongoing medical access work at a large scale, with repeated support for community clinics, pharmacy programs, and health ministries that serve people affected by poverty or disaster. In the recent grants list, the largest awards go to organizations such as Agape Clinic in Dallas and Mission Arlington Medical Clinic in Arlington, both receiving multi-million-dollar ongoing support across 2023 and 2024. That recurring pattern points to a funder that does not limit itself to one-off crisis aid; it also backs sustained local health delivery. The foundation’s stated work centers on medicine, medical supplies, health services, and programs, and its grant records show that those priorities translate into grants for frontline providers across multiple states. It supports organizations serving patients through clinics, pharmacies, and community health centers, with awards that range from smaller operating grants to very large continuing commitments. Recent recipients also include Mission of Mercy in Gettysburg, Faith Community Pharmacy in Newport, and Eunice Community Health Center in Eunice, showing a mix of service models under a consistent health-access mission.

How Americares Foundation Gives
Typical grants sit in the middle-six-figure range: the p25 is $21,564, the median is $65,117, and the p75 is $222,523. At the same time, the recent list includes much larger ongoing awards in the millions, indicating a wide spread between core support and major operating commitments. The repeated 2023 and 2024 grants to the same recipients show multi-year funding rather than isolated one-time awards. Americares Foundation Inc is classified as a regular funder, does not fund individuals, and does not make program-related investments.
