About Presbyterian Healthcare Foundation

A $10.15 million support grant to Presbyterian Healthcare Services in 2025 stands out in the foundation’s recent giving and reflects how Presbyterian Healthcare Foundation channels philanthropy into system priorities across New Mexico. The foundation exists to raise and steward funds that improve health and lives in Presbyterian Healthcare Services communities, with giving tied to healthcare services, community health, behavioral health, health equity, patient financial assistance, volunteer programs, planned giving, capital, and program funding. Its recent grants show a mix of operating support, capital projects, and patient-facing services. The largest awards in the record also include a $3.715 million Hospice House gift in 2023 and a $1.05 million healthcare support grant in 2024, both to Presbyterian Healthcare Services in Albuquerque. Smaller grants in the same record support clinical operations, community programs, and specialized care, including work linked to hospice operations, care coordination, and pediatric services. The foundation’s stated philanthropic priorities point to access to primary and specialty medical services, behavioral health, and support for social needs such as food, housing, and transportation. That combination makes the foundation a system-focused funder with a broad community health mandate.
