About St Mary's Medical Center Foundation
St Mary’s Medical Center Foundation’s recent giving is centered on hospital support for Dignity Health Dba St Mary’s Medical Center, including a $2,152,476 grant in 2024 and a $1,756,791 grant in 2023. That pattern matches the foundation’s stated purpose: raising philanthropic support for Providence St. Mary Medical Center to advance patient care, community health initiatives, medical education, and caregiver support. The foundation’s active giving opportunities show how that mission is translated into practice. It supports the hospital’s electrophysiology lab project, Level IV Trauma Center support, residency program support, mental health initiatives, an emergency response and recovery fund, and caregiver scholarships. The mix points to a funder that gives through institutional support and program-specific priorities tied to a single medical center and its surrounding community. Leadership is listed under Charles Thevnin, and the foundation does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Its grantmaking is local and entirely in California, with recipients located in the same state as the foundation’s work.
What St Mary's Medical Center Foundation Funds
Healthcare and clinical services are the clearest theme in the foundation’s giving. A 2024 grant of $2,152,476 went to Dignity Health Dba St Mary’s Medical Center for hospital support, and the foundation also lists an electrophysiology lab giving opportunity tied to cardiac care and clinical services. Medical education is another visible priority. The foundation’s residency program support backs graduate medical education, resident training positions, and related program costs at Providence St. Mary Medical Center. Workforce development appears again through caregiver scholarships, which support hospital employees and caregivers pursuing education, training, or certification. Community mental health is also part of the portfolio, with a mental health support initiative and a separate mental health initiative giving opportunity focused on services for the surrounding community.
