About Allina Health Foundation

Allina Health Foundation’s grantmaking is built around Allina Health system priorities: mental health and addiction, cancer care, healing environments, community health, and research and innovation. The largest recent awards show that pattern clearly, with multimillion-dollar support for education and learning center projects and for construction and remodel work at Mercy, United, and Abbott Northwestern hospitals. Those grants place the foundation in the center of facility upgrades, program support, and clinical capability building across the Allina Health system. The foundation also backs patient-facing services and specialized care. Recent grants supported operational programs that included adaptive sports, education and research, stroke and cardiac care, and assistance to community agencies. Other awards funded oncology service expansion, mental health remodels, a linear accelerator, and equipment tied to rehabilitation and mobility at Courage Kenny Institute. That mix shows a funder that combines capital support with operating support and equipment purchases. A smaller but notable part of the portfolio reaches outside large hospital projects. The foundation gave support to community organizations such as True Friends and Common Hope, and it provided general support for Children’s of Minnesota Foundation fetal health care.

What Allina Health Foundation Funds

Mental health and addiction is a recurring priority. In 2025, Allina Health Foundation gave $8,976,539 to Allina Health System for construction and remodel of mental health facilities at Mercy, United, and Abbott Northwestern hospitals. The same priority also appears in the foundation’s strategic focus areas and community investment work. Cancer care and oncology is another core area. In 2024, it provided $1,754,866 to Allina Health System for expansion of oncology services at Westhealth Clinic and installation of OB ultrasound at four hospitals. A separate 2023 grant of $2,266,167 supported emergency financial assistance for qualifying cancer patients to help with everyday expenses. The foundation also funds rehabilitation and adaptive mobility. It gave $855,722 in 2025 for expansion of the therapy gym at Courage Kenny Institute, and $703,125 the same year for a Lite Gait system for ambulatory activities there. Research and clinical innovation appear in its support for a cardiac resynchronization study at Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation.
