About Pacificsource Foundation for Health Improvement
Pacificsource Foundation for Health Improvement’s grantmaking is built around clinics, uninsured populations, and community-based health supports, with a clear emphasis on access and equity. In 2024, the foundation funded approximately $1.5 million to 47 organizations through Community Impact Grants, alongside a multi-year clinic-support program that provides funding, peer learning, and technical assistance to community-sponsored clinics. Recent awards show this pattern in practice: $60,000 to Mental Health America of Montana for a mental health warm line and $60,000 to Nurturely for doula care and supports to improve infant and maternal health. The foundation also backs healthcare delivery for low-income and uninsured people, including $54,000 to Pocatello Free Clinic and $50,000 to Portland Street Medicine for street-based, mobile healthcare services for homeless Portlanders. Its recent portfolio includes behavioral health, food security, maternal and infant health, and clinic capacity building, with a consistent preference for direct-service partners that also strengthen local systems.
What Pacificsource Foundation for Health Improvement Funds
Healthcare access is the clearest throughline in the foundation’s recent awards. It gave $54,000 to Pocatello Free Clinic for access to healthcare services for low-income, uninsured people, and $50,000 to Genesis Community Health in Boise for the same purpose. Clinic support also appears in awards to Volunteers in Medicine Clinic of the Cascades and Salem Free Clinics. Behavioral health is another active area: Mental Health America of Montana received $60,000 for a mental health warm line, while Center for Community Counseling received $36,000 for mental health services. Family and maternal supports are present too, including $60,000 to Nurturely for doula care and supports to improve infant and maternal health and $40,000 to Catholic Community Services of the Mid-willamette Valley & Central Coast for culturally specific support for prenatal and newly parenting households. Food security shows up through $45,000 to Idaho Hunger Relief Task Force for a produce prescription program.
How Pacificsource Foundation for Health Improvement Gives
Typical grant size sits in a relatively tight band: the 25th percentile is $25,000, the median is $30,000, and the 75th percentile is $33,000. Recent awards above that band include multiple $40,000 to $60,000 grants, especially for clinics and health-access partners. The foundation also shows repeat support over time: Genesis Community Health, Salem Free Clinics, Volunteers in Medicine Clinic of the Cascades, and Free Clinic of Southwest Washington each appear in multiple recent awards. Grantmaking is carried out through a named foundation structure, not a donor-advised fund, and the active programs emphasize multi-year support, peer learning, and technical assistance. Both active programs do not accept unsolicited applications.
