About Mercy Care
Mercy Care’s community reinvestment grants show a funder using health dollars to support Arizona nonprofits across chronic disease management, mental health, housing security, and substance use recovery. The largest recent award in the list was $1,630,000 to Healthmine Services in Dallas, a grant that sits alongside large Arizona-based awards to Copa Health Inc in Mesa and Contexture in Phoenix. That pattern points to a funder working through community partnerships and provider relationships rather than through a narrow issue niche. The foundation’s program list also shows a mix of state and federal treatment funding streams, including Substance Use Disorder Services, the Substance Use Block Grant, Mental Health Block Grant pass-through funding, and State Opioid Response distribution. Within the community reinvestment portfolio, Mercy Care supports nonprofit projects that advance health equity and health-related stability for local communities and community-based organizations. Recent grants include support for Activate Food Arizona in Phoenix, St Joseph’s Foundation in Phoenix, and Local Initiatives Support Corporation in Phoenix, indicating a strong emphasis on place-based partnerships in the state.
What Mercy Care Funds
Mercy Care’s stated focus areas center on chronic disease management, mental health, substance use disorder treatment and recovery, housing security, and behavioral health services for uninsured Arizonans. In 2025, it gave $537,500 to Activate Food Arizona in Phoenix through community reinvestment, linking its health equity work with community-based support. It also awarded $500,000 to St Joseph’s Foundation in Phoenix, another community reinvestment grant within its Arizona portfolio. Behavioral health appears in both direct service funding and community grants. The foundation listed behavioral health in schools as a treatment grant program, and it also funded Teen Lifeline in Phoenix with $325,000 in 2023. For substance use work, Sonoran Prevention Works in Phoenix received $253,000 in 2024 and $239,000 in 2023, showing repeated support for the same organization across years.
How Mercy Care Gives
Mercy Care’s recent grants show a wide size range, from a median of $31,600 to a 75th percentile of $136,688, with the lower quartile at $12,000. The grant list also includes several awards in the hundreds of thousands, which fits a mix of smaller community awards and larger program support. Recipients appear across multiple years, including repeated funding to Local Initiatives Support Corporation and Sonoran Prevention Works, which points to ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards. Mercy Care is an institutional funder, not an individual-giving foundation, and its active community reinvestment program accepts unsolicited requests. Its other treatment and state/federal grant programs do not.
