Building upon the legacy of Mother Cabrini and the Catholic tradition, the Foundation is focused on healing the sick and caring for the poor. It supports programs meeting the unmet healthcare and healthcare-related needs of individuals, families, and communities throughout New York State.
The General Fund & Eight Populations Grant Program of the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation aims to support projects that advance the health and well-being of vulnerable New Yorkers, focusing on areas beyond their specific programs. The foundation recognizes the importance of addressing the wide spectrum of health and well-being needs. It particularly targets eight priority populations: Immigrants, Justice-Involved Individuals, Low-Income Individuals and Families, Older Adults, People with Disabilities, Veterans, Young Children along with Pregnant Women and New Moms and Dads, and Youth and Young Adults. This grant program considers proposals of $75,000 or greater, aiming to fill in gaps where its Programs might not reach, thereby ensuring a broader impact on health and wellness across New York State.
