Provides acute and specialty medical services as part of the CHI Health system, focusing on patient-centered care and community benefit.
Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center’s largest recent grant went to Saint Elizabeth Foundation, a $429,084 general-support award in 2025. That grant sets the tone for a funder that uses flexible support rather than narrow project funding, with all six recent grants labeled general support. The organization’s giving is tied to community benefit and health care, consistent with its role in providing acute and specialty medical services within the CHI Health system. Recent awards also reached civic and social-service organizations in Lincoln, including El Centro De Las Americas and Malone Community Center, showing that the medical center’s philanthropy extends beyond direct clinical settings. The grant list is small but active, with awards clustered in 2025 and sized for operational use. Leadership is listed as Tim Bricker, and the foundation’s profile reflects a health-system funder whose recent giving supports organizational stability for local nonprofits as well as its own affiliated foundation.
Health care remains central to the foundation’s identity, but its recent grants show a broader community-benefit pattern. A 2025 general-support grant of $49,000 went to El Centro De Las Americas in Lincoln, connecting the funder to community services in the city where most of its grants land. Another 2025 award, $20,075 to Malone Community Center, also supported general operations rather than a restricted program. The foundation’s support reaches education and family-serving institutions too: The Foundation for Lincoln Public Schools received $17,480 for general support. Mercy Housing Midwest, based in Denver, received $20,000, showing that the funder is not limited to one service sector even though its work is locally concentrated.
The typical grant size is tightly clustered around the low tens of thousands: p25 is $18,110, median is $20,038, and p75 is $41,769. The recent list includes one much larger award to an affiliated foundation, but the remaining grants sit close to the median and are all general support. The pattern is program-agnostic funding, with flexible use tags such as general operating support and unrestricted support. Grants appear to be current-year awards rather than a long multi-year series, since the recent list provided is concentrated in 2025. Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center does not make grants to individuals and is not identified as a program-related investment funder.
