Mission & Focus Areas
The organization’s stated mission is to serve, together with Trinity Health, in the spirit of the Gospel as a compassionate and transforming healing presence within communities. MercyOne’s stated values include reverence, commitment to people experiencing poverty, safety, justice, stewardship, and integrity.
The 2025 grants include support for equipment, health-related programs, crisis and housing services, and community organizations. For example, Northern Lights Alliance for the Homeless describes its mission as providing temporary shelter and self-help options for people experiencing homelessness; the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque says it strengthens nonprofits and leads collaborative initiatives addressing community needs. These are the grantees’ own descriptions, not stated missions of the funder.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2025, the organization reported 23 grants totaling $1,424,098. Grant amounts ranged from $6,000 to $450,000, with a median of $13,000.

MercyOne directs funding and sponsorship requests to its online Community Partnership/Sponsorship process. Its website says requests are evaluated for alignment with its mission and values, and that partnerships qualifying as community benefits and aligning with the Community Health Needs Assessment Implementation Strategy receive priority consideration. The funding criteria exclude political activities, requests benefiting single individuals, capital campaigns, requests that do not improve the health of the community served, individual scholarship requests outside foundation activities, certain events, and advertising-dollar requests or contributions. Requests for advertising dollars are referred to the marketing and communications office. The website asks for event requests at least 90 days in advance and says evaluation may take up to 90 days. Requests requiring camera-ready artwork must be submitted at least two months before the relevant event or publication deadline; detailed ad requirements are requested.
The MercyOne Dubuque Community Benefit–Ministry Grant Fund was not accepting applications for its July 1, 2025–June 30, 2026 funding cycle. That cycle has passed; the website says updates will be posted as they become available.
