Serving Humanity to Honor God — to enhance well-being of the people and places in our service area so health equity is achievable, and ALL can thrive.
Methodist Healthcare Ministries of South Texas Inc has used large, repeat awards to build health and social-service capacity across South Texas, with the Southwest Texas Regional Advisory Council receiving more than $14 million across 2023 to 2025 for transitional housing, an acute care station, and psychiatric bed capacity. That pattern shows a funder willing to back both clinical infrastructure and the systems around it. Their grants also reach community health centers and behavioral-health providers, including El Centro del Barrio (DBA CentroMed), Gateway Community Health Center Inc, and Clarity Child Guidance Center, often with support tied to integrated healthcare, counseling, or facility work. The foundation’s stated scope covers access to care, food security, digital equity, housing, economic mobility, and education and workforce development, but the recent grants make clear that health access is the organizing thread. It also supports clergy wellness, child-abuse prevention, and programs serving people experiencing homelessness and low-income residents, including colonia communities. The grant list includes program, capital, staffing, and coalition support, indicating a mix of direct service funding and broader capacity investments.
Integrated healthcare is a major theme. Methodist Healthcare Ministries of South Texas Inc gave $3,465,131 in 2024 and $3,067,001 in 2025 to El Centro del Barrio (DBA CentroMed), with the earlier award including building renovation and the later award supporting the integrated healthcare program. In Laredo, Gateway Community Health Center Inc received $1,448,547 in 2024 and $1,441,697 in 2025 for integrated healthcare, and a 2023 grant also added dental and salary-supplement support. Behavioral health is another clear line of work: Clarity Child Guidance Center received $1,440,000 in 2025 for behavioral health services for children and capital support. Food, housing, and economic mobility appear as connected priorities in grants such as the award to Martinez Street Women's Center for a community coalition project and Economic Mobility program.
The typical grant size is sizable: p25 is $56,574, median is $143,195, and p75 is $317,782. The distribution is broader than that middle range suggests, with multiple seven-figure awards and several multi-year relationships. Recipients often appear across more than one year, such as Southwest Texas Regional Advisory Council, El Centro del Barrio (DBA CentroMed), Gateway Community Health Center Inc, Family Service Association of San Antonio Inc, and Clarity Child Guidance Center. The foundation is a regular funder, makes program-related investments, and also gives operating-style support, capital support, staffing supplements, and unrestricted donations. The recent grant list suggests direct funding without an application process described in the data.

Grantmaking is overwhelmingly Texas-based: 98% of grants go to recipients in TX, and the recipient-country distribution is entirely U.S.-based. San Antonio is the main recipient city, with repeated grants to Southwest Texas Regional Advisory Council, El Centro del Barrio (DBA CentroMed), Clarity Child Guidance Center, and Ascension DePaul Services. Other active Texas locations include Laredo, Uvalde, Pharr, Corpus Christi, Houston, Cotulla, and San Angelo. The pattern points to a South Texas service area, with some reach into nearby Texas communities.
The recent grants center on access to care and related supports: integrated healthcare, behavioral health, dental services, transitional housing, economic mobility, digital equity, and prevention programs such as diabetes prevention and safe water. The grant list also includes clergy wellness and child abuse prevention.
The grant-size distribution is relatively high for a health-focused regional funder: p25 is $56,574, the median is $143,195, and p75 is $317,782. Recent awards also include several grants above $1 million.
No non-U.S. recipient countries appear in the grant data, and 98% of grants go to recipients in Texas. The recent grant list is entirely Texas-based, including cities such as San Antonio, Laredo, Uvalde, Pharr, Houston, Corpus Christi, Cotulla, and San Angelo.
Several recipients appear in multiple years, including Southwest Texas Regional Advisory Council, El Centro del Barrio (DBA CentroMed), Gateway Community Health Center Inc, Family Service Association of San Antonio Inc, and Clarity Child Guidance Center. That repeated presence suggests recurring relationships rather than one-off awards.
The recent grants show program support, capital support, staffing-related support, coalition support, and donation-style awards. Examples include building renovation, salary supplements, capital support, and direct program funding for healthcare, behavioral health, and housing-related work.
