Riverside Medical Center is part of Riverside Healthcare, a fully integrated healthcare system delivering comprehensive inpatient and outpatient care and community health services across Kankakee and surrounding counties, focused on access to world-class care, community benefit, and education.
Riverside Medical Center’s recent giving is dominated by sponsorships that stay close to its service area, with repeated support for local education, community events, and health-related organizations in Kankakee County. The largest grant on file is $57,000 to Olivet Nazarene University for sponsorship, followed by repeated support for Bishop Mcnamara High School and the Kankakee Riverfront Society. That pattern fits a funder tied to Riverside Healthcare’s broader community role: access to care, community health, and education are central to its public profile. The grants also show a mix of civic and health-oriented partners, including the American Cancer Society, the Kankakee County Health Dept, and the Kankakee Events Partnership. Across the recent grants list, the foundation’s giving looks highly relationship-based and event-oriented rather than built around a wide open competitive grant process. Its support also reaches beyond a single theme, but the recurring thread is local sponsorship tied to community presence, public visibility, and health-related engagement.
Education-related sponsorships are a visible part of the foundation’s giving. It awarded $57,000 to Olivet Nazarene University in 2024 and $32,000 in 2025, both listed as sponsorships, along with $30,000 to Bishop Mcnamara High School in 2024. Community events and civic visibility are another clear theme: the foundation gave $25,000 each in 2024 and 2025 to the Kankakee Riverfront Society, and $6,000 in 2024 to Kankakee Events Partnership. Health-related support also appears in the recent grants list, including $10,000 to the American Cancer Society in Chicago in 2023 and $5,500 to the Kankakee County Health Dept in 2025. The list also includes $7,634 to The US Ukraine Foundation in 2023, showing that some sponsorships reach beyond local institutions.
Typical grants cluster in a modest sponsorship range: the p25 is $6,188, median is $10,000, and p75 is $25,500. The recent record shows repeated support to the same organizations across multiple years, including Olivet Nazarene University, Bishop Mcnamara High School, the Kankakee Riverfront Society, the American Cancer Society, and the Kankakee City Chamber of Commerce. That repetition suggests a recurring sponsorship pattern rather than one-time awards. Riverside Medical Center does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. The grant list is entirely event-based or sponsorship-based, matching a restricted, project-specific approach.
