About Baptist Memorial Health Care Foundation
Baptist Memorial Health Care Foundation Inc’s grantmaking is tightly tied to care delivery and community support across the Baptist Memorial Health Care system. Recent awards show a pattern of funding hospice and bereavement services, patient assistance, health sciences education, pediatric and neonatal equipment, cancer care, and clinical research. The largest recent grant in the data went to Northeast Arkansas Clinic Charitable Foundation Inc in Jonesboro, Arkansas, for various community projects and patient assistance, underscoring the foundation’s regional reach beyond its Memphis headquarters. Another large recurring recipient is Baptist Memorial Home Care Inc in Memphis, which received multiple grants for hospice house and bereavement center support across 2023 to 2025. The foundation also funds internal and affiliated institutions that serve patients and train health professionals. Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis appears repeatedly for various medical and community programs, while Baptist Memorial College of Health Sciences Inc received multiple awards for scholarships and tuition deferral. That mix of direct patient-facing support, workforce investment, and institutional backing gives the foundation a clearly operational profile rather than a detached regranting model. Its current filings show annual grants of more than $20 million and assets above $737 million, with giving concentrated in Tennessee and neighboring states served by Baptist Memorial Health Care.
