Saint Francis Hospital Inc directs its philanthropy primarily to local health-related needs and community well‑being in the Tulsa area, combining large investments in medical supply and disease-related charities with sponsorships for civic events and support for safety‑net social services. Grants also show a sustained interest in faith‑based institutions and local education/training programs, indicating a community‑centered strategy that leverages the hospital’s healthcare identity. Many recipients receive repeat or event‑specific support, suggesting relationships with long‑standing local partners rather than one‑off national giving.
A single healthcare-linked grant stands out in the recent record: Saint Francis Hospital Inc gave $905,607 to Medical Supplies Network Inc in 2024 for program support. That size, paired with recurring support for Tulsa-based organizations, shows a funder that uses philanthropy to address practical health and community needs close to home. The hospital’s giving reaches beyond direct medical care into local service infrastructure, faith-based institutions, and citywide events that draw broad participation. Repeat support is a consistent pattern. Tulsa Tough Inc received the same $254,276 sponsorship in both 2023 and 2024, while Tulsa's Future Inc received $100,000 in each of those years. Other sizable grants went to Porta Caeli House Corp, Catholic Charities, and Tulsa Community Foundation Inc, reflecting a mix of shelter, social service, and community support. The foundation also backed disease-related nonprofits such as the American Kidney Fund, American Heart Association Inc, and American Cancer Society Inc, linking its healthcare identity to broader public health priorities. The overall picture is of a local grantmaker with concentrated Oklahoma relationships, especially in Tulsa, and a strong preference for program support and event sponsorship over broad, generalized giving.
In healthcare-related work, Saint Francis Hospital Inc made its largest recent award to Medical Supplies Network Inc for program support, a grant that points to direct support for medical logistics and provider needs. It also funded the American Kidney Fund, showing attention to disease-specific organizations with health education or patient support roles. Faith-based and social-service institutions are another clear theme. Grants to Porta Caeli House Corp, Roman Catholic Diocese, and Catholic Charities indicate support for Catholic-affiliated service providers and local assistance programs. The foundation also invests in Tulsa civic life through event sponsorship and public fundraising. Tulsa Tough Inc received sponsorship funding in consecutive years, and Tulsa's Future Inc received repeated program support. Separate grants to Tulsa Regional Chamber and Tulsa Historical Society show interest in local civic and community institutions as well.

Saint Francis Hospital Inc gives in relatively modest-to-mid-range increments for most grants, with a typical size of $10,000 at the 25th percentile, a median of $15,000, and $38,980 at the 75th percentile. The distribution is shaped by a few much larger awards, including one major outlier above $900,000. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including Tulsa Tough Inc, Tulsa's Future Inc, Catholic Charities, Mental Health Association, and the American Kidney Fund, which suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards. The foundation operates as a hospital-linked funder and its recent grants are all program support or sponsorship style awards; no application process is shown in the data.
Giving is overwhelmingly concentrated in Oklahoma: 92% of grants go to recipients in the foundation’s headquarters state, and the top giving state is also OK.

Outside the state, the recent record includes a smaller number of grants to Rockville, Maryland, and Des Moines, Iowa. The recipient-country distribution is entirely domestic, with all grants going to U.S. organizations.
The recent grants show a strong preference for healthcare-related and community-serving organizations: medical supply support, disease-focused nonprofits, Catholic charities and institutions, and Tulsa civic or service organizations. Program support and sponsorship are the most visible grant purposes in the record.
