About Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System
Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System Inc. directed its largest recent grant, $500,000 in 2024, to Cristo Rey Franciscan High School in Baton Rouge for Catholic learning community support tied to education of limited economic means. That award fits a broader pattern of support for health, education, and mission-aligned community work across Louisiana. The foundation’s public summary emphasizes fostering communication, coordination, and collaboration for a healthier life for people in the greater Baton Rouge area, while its listed focus areas include access to healthcare, mental/behavioral health, cancer, diabetes, substance abuse/addiction, and heart disease. The grant record also shows a second 2024 award of $42,000 to Taking Aim at Cancer in Louisiana Inc. for general support, pointing to a mix of large institutional commitments and smaller unrestricted gifts. The foundation’s structure includes program-related investments, and its recent activity is fully domestic, with recipients in Louisiana. Its active programs and committee structure show a health-system-affiliated funder that channels support through local foundations, hospital-linked initiatives, and community-facing partnerships.

Education appears in the recent record through the $500,000 grant to Cristo Rey Franciscan High School for a Catholic learning community serving students of limited economic means. That ties closely to the foundation’s taxonomy around faith-based K-12 education, tuition assistance, and parochial school support. Health-related grantmaking is also explicit. The $42,000 award to Taking Aim at Cancer in Louisiana Inc. was recorded as general support, aligning with the foundation’s cancer focus area. Across its program areas, the foundation lists access to healthcare, heart disease, diabetes, mental/behavioral health, substance abuse/addiction, pulmonary/respiratory health, weight status and nutrition, and health disparities. The stated summary for the organization emphasizes coordination and collaboration to promote a healthier life in Baton Rouge.

The organization makes program-related investments and does not fund individuals. Recent records show multiple health-system-affiliated funding channels, along with a Community Contributions Committee that accepts requests from local organizations.
