About St Peter's Health
St Peter's Health’s largest recent grant was $114,721 to St Peters Hospital Foundation for an Assistance Fund, which points to a grantmaker that uses philanthropy to support patient and employee needs inside its own care system. The foundation also backed community food access with a $20,000 grant to Helena Food Share for a Healthy Food Initiative and funded clinical access for the ski hill community through a $10,000 grant to Great Divide Ski Patrol Foundation for Ski Hill Clinic and medical equipment. Its grantmaking is tied to health care delivery and the social conditions around it: patient assistance, workforce development, cancer care, palliative and hospice care, forensic nursing, housing support, nutrition programs, and early childhood collaboration. The recent grants show a mix of institutional support, direct service funding, and project-specific awards. Several active funding pillars reinforce that pattern, including Community-Based Services, Innovative Health Care Delivery, and Workforce Solutions. The foundation’s giving is local and entirely within Montana, with support directed to Helena and nearby communities. The leadership named on file is Wade Johnson, and the organization also makes program-related investments.
What St Peter's Health Funds
A central theme is food access and nutrition. St Peter's Health gave $20,000 to Helena Food Share for a Healthy Food Initiative, and its active program list includes Food Farmacy, Harvest of the Month, and Produce Prescription work tied to community nutrition. Another clear area is workforce development. The foundation supports scholarships, training, childcare, and talent pipeline efforts through Workforce Solutions, including the Fred C. Olson Learning and Development Institute and Pete’s Place Early Childhood Learning Center. That pattern connects health staffing with family support. It also funds clinical access and equipment. A $10,000 grant to Great Divide Ski Patrol Foundation supported Ski Hill Clinic and medical equipment, matching the foundation’s clinical-service focus. On the community side, its active pillars include Housing Is Healthcare and early childhood collaboration, showing attention to housing stability and developmental supports alongside care delivery.
How St Peter's Health Gives
Typical grants cluster in the low five figures, with a p25 of $6,750, a median of $10,000, and a p75 of $20,000. The recent list also includes one much larger award at $114,721, suggesting the foundation combines standard program grants with a smaller number of larger support awards. The grant program structure is organized around named pillars and funds, including Community-Based Services, Workforce Solutions, and Innovative Health Care Delivery. The recent grants and active programs point to restricted, project-tied funding rather than open solicitation. The available data shows grants in 2024, but not a multi-year recipient pattern.
