Raise philanthropic funds to support MercyOne’s mission of providing a healing ministry and compassionate, high-quality health care to the local community by funding clinical excellence, education, charitable care and community health programs.
Mercy Medical Center - Sioux City Foundation’s recent giving is anchored by repeated support for Mercy Health Services - Iowa (dba Mercyone Siouxland Medical Center) in Sioux City, including a $1,915,449 grant in 2024 and a $594,934 grant in 2025. That pattern points to a funder closely tied to local health care operations rather than a broad, distributed grantmaker. The foundation’s stated purpose is to raise philanthropic funds for MercyOne’s mission of providing a healing ministry and compassionate, high-quality health care to the local community, with support directed to clinical excellence, education, charitable care, and community health programs. The existing focus areas reinforce that picture: healthcare delivery, patient care and comfort, cancer care, cardiac care, behavioral health, medical equipment and technology, graduate medical education and scholarships, and community health needs assessment and population health. Its funding footprint is local, and every grant in the provided recent-grants data went to recipients in Iowa. The foundation also supports education-related work through scholarship programs connected to Mercy College of Health Sciences and MercyOne Clinton Foundation, showing that workforce development sits alongside direct care and community health in its grantmaking.
Healthcare delivery is the clearest thread in the foundation’s grantmaking. In 2023, it gave $396,134 to Mercy Health Services - Iowa (dba Mercyone Siouxland Medical Center) for community support, extending the same institutional relationship seen in later years. Education and workforce development also appear through scholarship programming: Mercy College of Health Sciences Scholarships supports students of merit and financial need, and the college awards more than $300,000 a year in scholarships. The foundation also backs health-care training in Clinton through the MercyOne Clinton Foundation Health Care Scholarships, which accepts applications for individuals pursuing health care education and careers. A third area is community health partnership work. MercyOne’s Community Partnership - Donation and Sponsorship Request program provides limited financial support to nonprofit organizations that improve community well-being and align with the Community Health Needs Assessment implementation strategy.
