    About Saint Francis Community Health Care

    Saint Francis Community Health Care Inc. centers its giving on Worcester and Worcester County, with a stated focus on the elderly, long-term care, and broader health care needs for local residents. Its annual grant program is built to fund new programs as well as the continuation or expansion of existing ones, and it supports nonprofit health care organizations, social service providers, medical facilities, nursing homes, hospitals, and other entities delivering care in the area. The grant record shows that this mission is not limited to one type of service. In 2024, the foundation gave $20,000 to Rachel's Table for food pantry support and $15,600 to Mcauley Nazareth Home for Boys for a registered nurse at the facility. Other awards point to direct service and institutional support, including $12,000 to Dismas House to help ex-prisoners adapt to community life and $10,000 to Visitation House for pregnant women in crisis. The foundation’s stated purpose also includes cooperation among health care, social service, and nursing home partners serving Worcester County residents. Across its recent grants, the organization appears to use relatively small-to-moderate awards to meet basic needs, support staffing, and help local providers sustain or extend services tied to health, public health, and care delivery.

    What Saint Francis Community Health Care Funds

    Elder care and long-term care sit at the center of the foundation’s stated mission. That shows up in awards such as $15,600 to Mcauley Nazareth Home for Boys for a registered nurse at the facility and $8,000 to St Joseph's Abbey for medical equipment for the abbey infirmary. Basic-needs support is another clear theme. The foundation gave $20,000 to Pernet Family Health for infant supplies and $10,000 to Worcester County Reserve Sheriff Department for a coat drive for the homeless. It also provided $10,000 to Mustard Seed Catholic Worker for a food pantry and $5,000 to Catholic Charities for Christmas meals. The grants also reach family and youth services. In 2024, it awarded $15,000 to The Casa Project for child advocacy in Worcester County juvenile court and $10,000 to Marie Ann Center for an after-school program for underprivileged children. These awards fit a pattern of direct service grants tied to local health and social support.

    How Saint Francis Community Health Care Gives

    Typical awards are modest: the 25th percentile is $7,625, the median is $10,000, and the 75th percentile is $15,000. Recent gifts cluster around those levels, with several $10,000 awards and a smaller number above that range. The grant history also suggests repeat support. Rachel's Table, Pernet Family Health, Dismas House, Marie Ann Center, Worcester County Reserve Sheriff Department, Jeremiah's Inn, and Little Franciscans of Mary each received funding in both 2023 and 2024. The foundation operates an annual grant program, accepts unsolicited requests, and gives as a local funder rather than through individuals or program-related investments.
