To provide life-enriching opportunities and experiences to the communities we serve.
Country Manor Foundation Inc gave a $157,200 general support grant in 2025 to Foundation for Health Care Contunuum, its largest recent award. That gift sits within a local grantmaking pattern tied to Country Manor campuses and programs in Sartell and St. Joseph, with funding aimed at resident experience rather than outside institutions. The foundation’s public focus areas point to end-of-life care, memory care, spiritual care, quality-of-life programming, therapeutic recreation, and accessibility improvements. The foundation also awarded $17,500 in 2025 to Woodcrest - St Joe's for general support, showing that its grants extend across more than one Country Manor-affiliated site. Its stated purpose is to provide life-enriching opportunities and experiences to the communities it serves, and the grant descriptions show how that purpose is carried out through direct service, equipment, amenities, and program support. Recipients include residents receiving hospice or palliative care, older adults living with dementia, families, and informal caregivers. Planned giving and legacy gifts are also part of the foundation’s giving model.
Memory care is a major theme. The foundation supports programs, equipment, education, and tools for people living with Alzheimer’s and dementia, including iN2L interactive systems, secure outdoor areas, Serenity Babies, and Storyworth keepsake books. One campaign is dedicated to memory-care-related programs and experiences in Sartell. Spiritual care is another recurring area. Grants support chapels and worship spaces with items such as projector and recording technology, hearing devices, large-screen TVs, and chapel chairs for residents, patients, families, and staff. Quality of life funding covers daily-life enhancements like the Country Manor Shuttle, digital picture frames, and adaptive recreational equipment such as an adaptive wheelchair bike. The foundation also backs outdoor amenities, including secure outdoor spaces, raised garden beds, seating, landscaping, and memorial park components.
The typical grant size is substantial for a local foundation: the 25th percentile is $52,425, the median is $87,350, and the 75th percentile is $122,275. Recent awards also include a much larger $157,200 grant, alongside a $17,500 grant, showing some spread around its core giving range. Grantmaking appears to be recurring rather than one-off, because the foundation maintains named ongoing programs such as Memory Care Funding, Spiritual Care Funding, Quality of Life Grants, and Outdoor Amenities Campaigns. It also runs Foundation Fiesta, an employee payroll deduction pledge drive that is the third-largest source of foundation funding and supports up to three projects each year. The foundation does accept unsolicited in-kind gifts through its wish list, but its grant programs themselves are generally invitation- or campaign-based.
