    About Foundation for Spirituality and Medicine

    The Foundation for Spirituality and Medicine directs funding to Baltimore-area, faith‑linked health and social service organizations, prioritizing operational support for frontline clinics, hospital-affiliated community health centers, and missions that combine spiritual care with medical or social services. Grants are relatively few but substantive and often repeat-year commitments to the same local partners, suggesting a place-based, relationship-driven giving approach focused on sustaining operations rather than project pilots.

    Focus Areas

    Faith-based homeless and recovery missions in Baltimore (e.g., Helping Up Mission)Community health centers and hospital-affiliated primary care in underserved Baltimore neighborhoods (e.g., Bayview/Johns Hopkins Health Center)Faith-linked maternal and family health services / community clinics (e.g., Mercy Health Center)Spiritual care and wellness programs integrated with medical services (e.g., The Soul Center)Faith community health outreach for specific conditions (e.g., sickle cell support through churches)

    Giving Approach

    Concentrated, relationship-driven grants: a small number of medium-to-large unrestricted/operational gifts, often repeated to the same Baltimore-based, faith-affiliated health and social service providers rather than many small one-off awards.

    About Foundation for Spirituality and Medicine

    Foundation for Spirituality and Medicine Inc. funds projects that integrate spirituality and medicine, with Maryland given preference in its grant programs. The recent grant record shows a strong concentration in Baltimore and nearby communities, and the work is largely operational: supporting front-line clinics, faith-linked health centers, and missions that combine spiritual care with medical or social services. Helping Up Mission received $25,000 in 2025 for operational support, while Mercy Health Center received $20,000 in both 2024 and 2025, showing repeat support for the same local partner. The Soul Center also appears multiple times, including a $25,000 grant in 2023 and a $12,500 grant in 2023, tied to operational support. Bayview Medical Center John Hopkins Health Center received $25,000 in 2024 and $12,500 in 2025. These awards point to a funder that backs ongoing service delivery and organizational stability rather than isolated project pilots. Its grant programs also explicitly include training, collaboration between healthcare and spiritual care providers, and research on spiritual components and health outcomes.

    What Foundation for Spirituality and Medicine Funds

    The clearest theme is the integration of spirituality and medicine. One example is a $25,000 grant in 2024 to Bayview Medical Center John Hopkins Health Center for operational support, aligning with the foundation’s stated interest in healthcare delivery that includes spiritual components. Another example is the 2025 $25,000 grant to Helping Up Mission, a Baltimore-based organization associated with homeless and recovery services, which fits the foundation’s support for faith-linked social and health missions. A second theme is community-based clinical care. Mercy Health Center received $20,000 in 2024 and again in 2025, showing continued backing for a local health center. The foundation also supported Jewish Community Services with $10,000 in 2023, suggesting attention to faith-linked community services. Across these awards, the pattern is operational support for organizations delivering care in Baltimore and nearby Maryland communities.

    How Foundation for Spirituality and Medicine Gives

    Typical grants cluster in a narrow range: p25 is $10,000, median is $11,250, and p75 is $21,250. The recent record shows repeated support to the same organizations across multiple years, including Mercy Health Center, Helping Up Mission, The Soul Center, Bayview Medical Center John Hopkins Health Center, and Goodwin House. That repetition suggests ongoing relationship-based grantmaking rather than one-off awards. The foundation is not a fund for individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its active grant programs accept unsolicited applications and allow support for salaries, indirect operating expenses, travel, and research assistance within the broader spirituality-and-medicine framework.
