About St Vincent's Birmingham
St Vincent's Birmingham’s recent grantmaking is defined by repeated operating support to the American Sports Medicine Institute, with awards of $2,776,787 in 2023, $2,757,908 in 2024, and $2,454,911 in 2025. That multi-year pattern sits alongside another large line of support: medical supplies redistributed through Sos International Inc, including $644,572 in 2024, $565,171 in 2025, and $165,674 in 2023. The foundation’s stated purpose is to provide life-changing care, and its grants reflect that through healthcare, cancer care, cardiology, women and children’s services, orthopedics and sports medicine, neurology, surgical services, and volunteer services and community support. A major part of its giving also reaches schools and student-serving institutions. Holy Family Cristo Rey Catholic Hs Inc received funding for student internship program support in 2023 and 2024, while several school systems and private schools received athletic trainer coverage support across multiple years. Breast cancer survivorship appears as another supported area through Forge Survivorship Center. The pattern is local, practical, and sustained rather than experimental: the same organizations often reappear over consecutive years, usually with support tied to ongoing services.
What St Vincent's Birmingham Funds
In healthcare, the foundation has backed operating support for the American Sports Medicine Institute across 2023, 2024, and 2025, showing a long-running commitment to sports medicine and clinical programming. Medical supply redistribution is another clear thread: Sos International Inc received funding for medical supplies for redistribution in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Education-linked support appears in several forms. Holy Family Cristo Rey Catholic Hs Inc received student internship program support in 2023 and 2024, connecting the foundation’s giving to workforce development for secondary students. School health infrastructure is another theme, with grants to Jefferson County Board of Education for athletic trainer coverage support in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The foundation also supported Forge Survivorship Center for breast cancer survivor center support in 2023, tying its cancer-related giving to direct community services.
