About Saint Therese
Saint Therese’s largest recent grant was a $4,698,839 general-support award to Saint Therese Communities, pointing to a funder that backs its own care network with substantial operating dollars rather than narrow project funding. The foundation describes its work as promoting faith-based, person-centered care and support, and its active programs show that this mission extends across senior care, pastoral care, memory care, rehabilitation and therapy, scholarships, and community programs and events. Recent grant data also shows repeated support for Saint Therese of New Hope, which received $90,752 in 2024 and $55,460 in 2023. That pattern suggests ongoing internal support for connected community locations within the Saint Therese system. The foundation’s grantmaking structure includes general foundation funding for pastoral care, specialized programming, capital improvements, and endowment funds that enhance care and services across Saint Therese communities. It also runs a youth volunteer scholarship program for students who complete volunteer hours with a Saint Therese community, linking intergenerational service with educational support. Across these activities, Saint Therese funds organizations and programs that reinforce care, service, and community continuity.
What Saint Therese Funds
In senior care, Saint Therese directs general-support funding to its own communities, including a $4,698,839 grant to Saint Therese Communities in 2024. Pastoral care is another defined area: the foundation’s program funds and endowments are used to support pastoral care across Saint Therese communities. The same funding stream also supports specialized programming for seniors, capital improvements, and endowment funds, showing that operational and facility needs sit alongside program support. Scholarships are part of the portfolio as well. The Saint Therese Youth Volunteer Scholarship awards educational scholarships to youth volunteers who have completed volunteer hours with a Saint Therese community. That program is tied to intergenerational relationships and volunteer service to seniors, rather than outside applicants or unrelated causes.
How Saint Therese Gives
Saint Therese’s recent grant sizes are highly uneven: the 25th percentile is $81,929, the median is $1,087,116, and the 75th percentile is $2,737,320. That spread reflects a mix of large internal operating awards and smaller community-level support. The foundation appears to fund recurring recipients rather than one-off relationships; Saint Therese of New Hope received grants in both 2024 and 2023, and Saint Therese Communities also appears across recent years. The grantmaking structure includes general support and program funds/endowments, and one active scholarship program accepts unsolicited applications. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
