About Ascension Health Senior Care
Ascension Health Senior Care focuses its giving on faith-based senior living, long-term care and elder services—primarily supporting Catholic-affiliated senior communities and related hospital networks in the Midwest. Grants are aimed at operating support and program continuity (including hospice/palliative services), with several sizable awards to the same institutional partners. Their portfolio shows an emphasis on sustaining existing care operations rather than small community initiatives or broad national campaigns.

About Ascension Health Senior Care
A single institutional relationship anchors Ascension Health Senior Care’s recent giving: in 2023, it awarded $1,267,500 to Presence Senior Services Chicagoland for operating support. That scale is echoed in a portfolio built around sustaining existing senior-care operations rather than seeding new programs. The foundation’s recent grants go to Catholic-affiliated elder-care providers, long-term care communities, hospice and palliative services, and related hospital networks tied to senior services. The pattern is visible across recurring partners. Presence Senior Services Chicagoland appears again in 2024 with general support, while Presence Chicago Hospitals Network also received support in both 2023 and 2024. Grants to Alexian Village of Milwaukee Inc, Alexian Village of Tennessee, Alexian Brothers Sherbrooke Village, and Via Christi Village Georgetown Inc show a consistent emphasis on faith-based senior living communities and affiliated care settings. The foundation’s funding style centers on continuity for established institutions, with operating and general support used to maintain services for older adults and the organizations that serve them.
What Ascension Health Senior Care Funds

Presence Senior Services Chicagoland received $242,879 in 2024 for general support after a much larger operating-support grant the year before, showing sustained backing for one institutional partner. Hospice and palliative care are another clear thread. Presence Life Conncections was awarded $44,428 in 2024 for general support, following a 2023 operating-support grant of $17,635 to Presence Life Connections. The foundation also supports hospital-network infrastructure tied to senior care. Presence Chicago Hospitals Network received $126,943 in 2024 for general support and $49,331 in 2023 for operating support. Faith-based elder campuses appear as well, including Alexian Village of Milwaukee Inc, Alexian Village of Tennessee, and Alexian Brothers Sherbrooke Village, each funded for general support.
