About Christus-Trinity Mother Frances Foundation
Christus-trinity Mother Frances Foundation’s grantmaking is tightly centered on the CHRISTUS Trinity Mother Frances health system and the communities it serves in East Texas. The largest grant in the file, $8,429,169 in 2023, went to Christus Trinity Mother Frances Hospital in Tyler for program support, underscoring how much of the foundation’s giving is tied to health system operations and mission-related care. Other large awards show the same pattern of institutional support, including $459,552 in 2024 and $332,251 in 2025 to the same hospital, plus $281,250 in 2025 to Christus Trinity Clinic to support the hospital’s ministry. Beyond direct hospital support, the foundation funds nearby nonprofits and faith-based partners that extend health and community services. Recent grants include $211,945 to Catholic Charities in Tyler, $200,000 to Christus Good Shepherd Health System in Longview for palliative care, and $196,000 to Tyler Junior College Foundation for an Apache athletics strength and conditioning program update. The portfolio also reaches schools, clinics, and service agencies that serve children, families, patients, and older adults. Across the record, the foundation’s giving reflects a local health-and-well-being mission rather than a broad national program.
