About Our Lady of the Lake Hospital
A $66.85 million grant to Louisiana State University for integrated clinical technology deployment, medical facility improvements, and medical educational programming is the clearest recent signal of how Our Lady of the Lake Hospital Inc gives: large health-system-centered support tied to care, infrastructure, and training. The foundation’s grantmaking also includes multiyear support for its own foundation entity, with $3.1 million awarded in both 2023 and 2024 to Our Lady of the Lake Foundation for general support. Alongside those larger awards, it funds community-facing health access work such as Health Care Centers in Schools, which received $2.9 million in 2024 for access to care for school students after a $1.45 million grant in 2023. The mix shows a funder that combines major institutional grants with recurring community health investments and education-related giving. Recent grants also reach research, prevention, and patient-support work, including chronic disease, cancer, heart health, autism access to care, and pediatric specialty services.
What Our Lady of the Lake Hospital Funds
Healthcare delivery appears in multiple forms. The foundation gave $165,000 to Baton Rouge Health District to enable researchers and physicians to collaborate in productive new ways, innovate and coordinate better care, and reduce preventable chronic disease. It also gave $10,000 to Louisiana Pediatric Cardiology Fdn for help with pediatric patient out-of-state surgery and free heart screenings for local high school athletes. Medical education is another thread: Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University received $1,275,004 in 2024 for general support, and Louisiana Nurses Foundation Inc received $10,000 for general support. Community health and access show up through Mayors Healthy City Initiative, which received $20,000 to promote healthy eating and lifestyle. The foundation also supported Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank Inc with $11,150 for general support.
How Our Lady of the Lake Hospital Gives
Typical awards are clustered at $10,000, with a median of $10,000 and a p25 of $10,000; the p75 rises to $93,750, showing a mix of smaller community grants and larger institutional commitments. The record includes repeated support to the same organizations across years, including Our Lady of the Lake Foundation, Health Care Centers in Schools, American Cancer Society, The Emerge Foundation, and Junior Achievement. That pattern points to ongoing relationships rather than isolated gifts. The foundation is a regular funder and also makes program-related investments. An unsolicited community grants page is referenced for some programs.
