About Deaconess Hospital
A $150,000 commitment to Baptist Health Deaconess Madisonville Inc. for the University of Louisville off-campus med school program appears as the largest recent grant, and it points to how Deaconess Hospital Inc approaches philanthropy: through health-related infrastructure, workforce training, and community supports that connect back to local care delivery. The foundation’s grant record also includes steady support for Southern Indiana Graduate Medical Education Consortium Inc., which received $100,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025 for general support. That repeat pattern suggests a preference for sustained relationships rather than one-time awards alone. Deaconess Hospital Inc also funds organizations serving patients and families outside the hospital setting. Recent grants include support for Tri-state Food Bank, United Caring Shelters, and Chemo Buddies, alongside awards to educational and medical training partners such as the University of Evansville and Ivy Tech Foundation. The mix of health system investment, community health access, and workforce development aligns with its stated purpose of advancing the compassionate and caring spirit of Deaconess Health through relationship-building and charitable giving. Most of the recent dollars stay close to its service area, with Evansville organizations appearing repeatedly across the grant list.
What Deaconess Hospital Funds
Workforce development is a clear theme in the recent record. Deaconess Hospital Inc gave $50,000 to the University of Evansville for the Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist program, and it gave $100,000 to Southern Indiana Graduate Medical Education Consortium Inc for general support. Those grants sit alongside $50,000 to Ivy Tech Foundation for general support and grant donation, showing a direct link to health professions training. Community health access also shows up in patient-facing support. The foundation awarded $30,000 to Echo Community Health Care for pediatric/OB pledge for primary health care, and $47,284 plus $38,003 to Chemo Buddies for general support and shuttle bus sponsorship. Housing and crisis support are present as well. United Caring Shelters received $32,500 in both 2023 and 2024 for homeless medical respite and general support, while Evansville Rescue Mission received $50,000 in 2025 for the Safe and Sound Campaign.
