Mission Statement

As the Sisters of Mercy before us, we bring to life the healing ministry of Jesus through our compassionate care and exceptional service.

Impact

Mercy Health Foundation is committed to bringing more technology, hope, and healing to all who need it. Our comprehensive approach to health care and proposed continued investments in Mercy’s health care delivery will ensure that every patient in the greater St. Louis region has access to high-quality, compassionate health care right in their backyard.

Mercy Health Foundation St. Louis has been a catalyst for introducing new, specialized treatment options and enhancing access to care for the underserved. With help from the Dana Brown Charitable Trust and other generous supporters, Mercy Health Foundation has raised $3.5 million to create a new home for our Cardinals Kids and Cardinals AYA Cancer Centers. This expansion will allow us to extend our healing ministry even further by serving more children and young adults battling cancer. Dana Brown grant awards also provided funds to support care for Odin, our Duo Dogs Pediatric cancer support dog. As Mercy Hospital St. Louis offers comprehensive pediatric oncology and hematology services, the vital endeavors are matched by lifting the spirits of children fighting cancer. Creating an atmosphere of hope, joy, and love is essential, and no one provides the healing balm of unconditional love more reliably than a dog.

The most recent Dana Brown grant award supported Mercy, which has one of only six Missouri Autism Centers recognized by the State of Missouri and is the leading autism care provider for the St. Louis region. This project will expand and improve the pediatric diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities of the Mercy Kids Therapy and Development Center by renovating an accessible, free-standing, and state-of-the-art facility in Chesterfield.

FAQs

Q

Are there any additional actions I need to take if I am awarded a grant by The Dana Brown Charitable Trust?

A

The Dana Brown Charitable Trust requires that you submit an end-of-year Progress/Follow-Up report within ten (10) months of your initial grant application. Your organization applicant/grant writer and/or primary contact will receive an assignment and email from the grant interface platform to complete this Progress Report when it is due.

For the new Collaborative Grants award, the agency that leads the application process will be responsible for this required form.

Generally, if you received a grant during our Spring grant cycle, your progress report is due by May 13. If you received a grant during our Fall grant cycle, your progress report is due by November 12. Interim reports and financial accounting will also be required for multi-year projects.
