How Ascension Providence Foundation Gives
The typical grant size is modest relative to the foundation’s largest awards: p25 is $15,724, median is $35,334, and p75 is $566,065. That spread reflects a mix of smaller operating grants and a few very large support packages. The recent record also shows repeated support to the same recipients across multiple years, especially Ascension Providence Hospital, Ascension Brighton Center for Recovery, and St John Providence. The foundation is structured as a private operating-style grantmaker tied to health-system support rather than a funder of individuals. No application process is indicated in the data.
