The Guadalupe Health Foundation is primarily a local health-focused funder that concentrates virtually all of its support on direct medical services and patient access in Wichita. The foundation’s largest and recurring investments go to Guadalupe Clinic, supporting clinic operations and health care delivery for underserved populations; smaller grants fund patient referral/financial access programs and Catholic parish-run social services. Its giving reflects a mission-driven, community health orientation with ties to local Catholic institutions.
A defining feature of Guadalupe Health Foundation is its repeated large-scale support for Guadalupe Clinic Inc in Wichita. The foundation made three recent grants to the clinic of $350,000 in 2023, $420,000 in 2024, and $410,000 in 2025, showing a sustained commitment to clinic operations and health care delivery. That pattern sits alongside smaller grants for patient access and parish-linked social services, which points to a funder centered on direct service rather than broad programmatic philanthropy. Guadalupe Health Foundation’s grantmaking is tightly connected to local health care access. Recent awards to Project Access supported health care-related patient referral and financial assistance, while grants to St Anne Catholic Church and the Catholic Diocese of Wichita connected to health and food support in Wichita. The picture that emerges is a foundation funding practical, community-based services for people who need direct medical care, help navigating access, and emergency support through local Catholic institutions. Its giving is consistently concentrated in Wichita, and the recent record shows only Kansas recipients.
Health care access is the clearest cause area in the foundation’s recent grantmaking. In 2025, Guadalupe Health Foundation gave $15,000 to Project Access for health care, following a $15,000 grant in 2024 for the same purpose. Clinic operations are another major emphasis. The foundation awarded $410,000 to Guadalupe Clinic Inc in 2025 for health care, after supporting the same organization with $420,000 in 2024 and $350,000 in 2023. Its support also extends to Catholic-based community services. In 2025, it gave $10,000 to St Anne Catholic Church for health care, and in 2023 it awarded $10,000 to the Catholic Diocese of Wichita for Lord's Diner Food Pantry. Those grants show an interest in both medical access and food support.
Typical grants are small at the low end and very large at the high end, with a p25 of $12,500, a median of $15,000, and a p75 of $380,000. That spread reflects a structure with a few major operating-style awards and a set of smaller support grants. The foundation’s recent record shows recurring support rather than one-off giving: Guadalupe Clinic Inc appears in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and Project Access appears in 2024 and 2025. Guadalupe Health Foundation is also a private foundation with annual grants of $1,230,000 and no individual giving or program-related investments listed.
