Saint Francis Healthcare System is committed to supporting charitable organizations and activities consistent with our Mission to provide a ministry of healing, wellness, quality and love inspired by our faith in Jesus Christ. Saint Francis provides funds to support services that promote the health and wellbeing of the communities we are called to serve through monetary donations, in-kind services or event sponsorships.
Given the volume of sponsorship requests we receive, sponsorship priority is given to organizations that align with our Mission and meet the below criteria.
