The Robert Kemper Corrigan Foundation concentrates its giving on behavioral health and healthcare capacity-building in Arizona, with an emphasis on expanding addiction medicine services and treatment access. It funds major regional health systems and community providers to support capital needs, program expansion (particularly for substance use care and ACT teams), and targeted supportive housing for vulnerable youth. Grants are sizable and strategic, aimed at infrastructure and service delivery improvements rather than broad general operating support.
A defining thread in Robert Kemper Corrigan Foundation’s recent giving is sustained support for addiction medicine capacity in Arizona. The foundation has backed hospital-based programs, rural telehealth for substance use care, and service infrastructure that helps patients move into treatment and follow-up support. In the recent grants list, Honor Health Foundation received $260,000 for an Addiction Medicine Fellowship and navigator services, while Banner Health Foundation received multiple awards for the Substance Use Telehealth for Arizona Rural Communities (STARC) program. The foundation also funds related clinical and facility needs, including Valleywise Health Foundation’s ACT program space and patient-care needs, and Hushabye Nursery’s inpatient nursery equipment for newborns exposed to opioids. Its giving reaches beyond clinical care into housing and shelter services tied to behavioral health and stability, such as youth housing, emergency shelter, and supportive services. The pattern points to a funder focused on building program capacity, physical space, and direct service delivery within Arizona health and human services organizations.
Behavioral health and substance use treatment are central to the foundation’s portfolio. It gave $200,000 to Banner Health Foundation for development of the STARC program for rural Arizona communities, then followed with another $150,000 and a further $100,000 for the same initiative in later years. It also supported addiction medicine workforce and service expansion through a $95,000 grant to Honor Health Foundation for an educator to expand the Hospital Addiction Medicine Consult Service. Housing and shelter-related work appears alongside that clinical focus. The foundation awarded $100,000 and $80,000 to I Am You 360 for construction costs tied to a 10-unit affordable housing project for youth aging out of foster care. It also supported emergency shelter operations with $65,000 to Central Arizona Shelter Services and $50,000 to Family Promise of Greater Phoenix for a capital campaign that included shelter capacity and prevention programs.
Typical grants cluster in the mid-five-figure range, with p25 at $18,750, median at $26,000, and p75 at $50,000. The foundation’s recent record includes repeated support for the same organizations over multiple years, including Banner Health Foundation, Honor Health Foundation, Valleywise Health Foundation, Central Arizona Shelter Services, and AZ National Livestock Show. That repeat pattern suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards. The foundation gives as a private foundation and, in the recent grants file, its grants are directed through program, capital, operating, and direct-aid uses rather than a single grant type. It also funds individuals.
