St. David’s Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to improving community health through leadership, collaboration and education. The Foundation supports programs that address the most pressing health needs and provide the most effective advances in improved health.

As a joint owner of St. David's HealthCare, the Foundation achieves its goals by investing the proceeds from the hospitals back in the Central Texas community.

Our vision is to keep the promise of a better life by improving health and health care for all Central Texans. By focusing funding in six focus areas, St. David’s Foundation can focus on improving the health and health care of all Central Texans for years to come.

In 2013, the Foundation plans to give more than $45 million to the community through grants to numerous agencies, local safety net clinics, and the St. David’s Dental Program. Click here to see a chart of our investments by focus area.

St. David’s Foundation focuses its community investments in six specific focus areas. The Foundation sets goals for each area and seeks proposals from grant partners who can make a significant impact on those being served. Click here to see more details.

We distribute grants to other organizations in the non-profit sector to help them establish and operate programs to serve the community. We also have the flexibility to shift our funding focus as priority needs change. Typically, hospital foundations raise money to fund the hospital itself or hospital programs in the community.
