Mission & Focus Areas
The organization’s stated mission is “to make hope, healing and well-being accessible to every person as an expression of God’s love.” Its 2025 grantmaking included support for healthcare access, care for uninsured and underserved people, children’s health, housing and services for people experiencing homelessness, senior services, and community well-being.
The grantees’ own descriptions illustrate the range of supported work. Florida Essential Healthcare Partnerships Foundation says its charitable purpose is to increase Medicaid funding for medical care for medically indigent Floridians. WeCare Jacksonville says it coordinates access to care for uninsured and under-resourced adults in Duval County, while Muslim American Social Services describes serving underserved and uninsured Duval County residents through medical services and health education. Other recipients include Nemours Foundation, whose mission is to improve children’s health; Sulzbacher Center, which provides health, housing, and income services to people who are homeless or at risk; and Pie in the Sky Community Alliance, which delivers fresh produce to low-income seniors.
Baptist Health’s 2025 Community Health Needs Assessment identified access to care, housing, mental health, and food environment as priority needs. Its Strategic Investment Program focuses on expanding access to essential services and supporting program expansion, rather than general operating expenses not tied to expansion.
