Mission & Focus Areas
In its 2024 filing, the organization states its mission is to make the healing presence of God known by improving the health of the people it serves, especially people who are vulnerable, while advancing social justice for all. The filing describes hospital services including diagnostic imaging, surgery, cardiovascular care, maternity care, mental and behavioral health care, and oncology, as well as partnerships to identify and address community health needs.
The 2025 grants went to organizations whose own missions include food access and nutrition education, wellness, housing and food assistance, children’s health, and community health collaboration. For example, Whispering Roots describes its work as bringing fresh food and nutrition education to underserved communities, while Together Inc. describes its mission as providing food and housing through access, advocacy, and action. These are the grantees’ stated missions, not stated priorities of Alegent Creighton Health.
CHI Health’s published grant-program materials say applications must address significant health needs identified in a hospital’s most recent community health needs assessment or implementation strategy. They also describe grants as supporting direct services, care coordination, and the health and well-being of underserved populations.

The organization reported 10 grants totaling $1,502,881 in filing year 2025. Grant amounts ranged from $10,000 to $1,320,381, with a median of $20,000.

All listed purposes were general support.
CHI Health’s website describes a separate Community Health Improvement Grants program for nonprofit organizations. Its 2027 program flyer says applications are for one year of funding beginning in April 2027, and that applicants must be 501(c)(3) nonprofits or have a 501(c)(3) fiscal agent. Large grants require identified collaborating partners and midyear and year-end reports; small grants require a year-end report.
