About Mary Lanning Healthcare Foundation

A single 2024 grant of $5,101,290 to Mary Lanning Memorial Hospital Association for medical equipment and supplies, plus liquidity needs to meet bond covenants, defines Mary Lanning Healthcare Foundation’s recent record. That award matches the foundation’s annual grant total on file and shows how closely its giving is tied to Mary Lanning Healthcare’s operating and financial needs. The foundation’s support is not broad-based philanthropy; it is structured around the hospital and related healthcare priorities in Hastings, Nebraska. Beyond that flagship grant, the foundation’s grant programs point to a consistent set of institutional needs: equipment purchases, clinical support, capital campaigns, endowment support, community programs, and scholarships for nursing and radiologic technology students. Its stated purpose includes funding equipment, community programs, scholarships, capital campaigns, and an endowment to sustain care over time. Within that framework, the foundation appears to support both immediate care delivery and longer-term stability for Mary Lanning Healthcare. The recent grant record and program descriptions together show a funder focused on healthcare infrastructure, patient services, and workforce development within one local healthcare system.
