About Sisters of St Joseph Ministries Foundation
Sisters of St Joseph Ministries Foundation directs large grants to ministries rooted in the Sisters of St. Joseph tradition, with recent support concentrated in St. Paul institutions and related programs. In the latest grants list, the two largest awards went to Sisters of St Joseph of Carondelet St Paul Province, at $546,625 in 2023 and $412,200 in 2024, both marked for program support. That pattern points to a funder that backs core ministry operations as well as direct service work rather than isolated project gifts. The foundation also supports health and social-service providers in St. Paul. St Marys Health Clinics received $525,341 in 2024 and $500,150 in 2023, showing repeated support across years. Beyond those larger awards, the portfolio includes grants to Minneapolis-based Peach House and Peace House, indicating that the foundation’s giving reaches related community programs within Minnesota. Its active programs add context for how the foundation works: support for an annual Impact Breakfast, an emergency response fund for families affected by ICE activity, and ongoing backing for Sarah’s... an Oasis for Women and Meet the Moment. Together, these pieces show a ministry-centered funder with a strong program-support orientation and recurring relationships with a small set of recipients.
What Sisters of St Joseph Ministries Foundation Funds
Education and scholarship support appear in the foundation’s active programs, including Meet the Moment, which funds Learning in Style School and provides scholarships, emergency financial assistance, and program operations. That same campaign links education with spiritual and social justice programming in Saint Paul and Minnesota. Immigrant services are another clear emphasis. The Accola Response Fund provides immediate support for families and individuals affected by ICE activity, covering groceries and critical monetary support for immigrant families. Support for Sarah’s... an Oasis for Women extends that work through a safe-home program for immigrant women, with funding used for resident support, staffing, and program services. Housing and shelter also show up in the active portfolio. Sarah’s... an Oasis for Women is described as a safe-home program, while the foundation’s existing focus areas include housing and shelter, women’s services, and community development.
