Mission & Focus Areas
UCMC’s filing describes it as a leader in patient care, research and medical education, with a commitment to patient care, clinical practice and community health. Its website defines community benefits as programs and services intended to improve health and well-being in response to community needs.
The 2024–2025 Community Health Needs Assessment identifies three priorities for FY 2026–2028: preventing and managing chronic diseases, with a focus on cancers, heart disease and diabetes; building trauma resiliency through violence prevention and behavioral health; and addressing social determinants of health, including access to care, food insecurity and workforce development.
The 2025 grants included support for organizations with varied missions. For example, Equal Hope describes its mission as addressing inequities in health care for underserved and minority women, with a focus on breast cancer. South Side Healthy Community Organization says it works to build a health system that prioritizes community needs and strengthens health equity. Inner-City Muslim Action Network describes its work as fostering health, wellness and healing through social change, arts and a holistic health center. These are the grantees’ stated missions, not UCMC’s.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2025, UCMC reported 49 grants totaling $1,265,433. Grant amounts ranged from $6,600 to $134,310, with a median of $10,000.
Among the largest reported grants were $134,310 to YWCA Metropolitan Chicago for a LinC grant; $100,000 to Equal Hope for the LINC—Liaisons in Care Program; $100,000 to South Side Healthy Community Organization for a UHI sponsorship; $56,000 to Chicago Family Health Center for a community benefit chronic disease grant addressing heart disease; and $53,673 to My Density Matters NFP for a community benefit chronic disease grant addressing breast cancer. Other listed awards included $50,000 each to Advocates for Community Wellness, Chicago Defender Charities, Chicago House & Social Service Agency, Chicago Women’s AIDS Project and Inner-City Muslim Action Network.
UCMC’s website describes sponsorships as financial support for events or fundraisers, such as galas, health fairs and awards celebrations. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis for events taking place in the current fiscal year; sponsorships are offered annually, and organizations aligned with UCMC’s strategic health priorities receive selection priority. Its Chicago South Side Community Benefit Grants are for local nonprofit, community-based organizations in the 12-zip-code service area, but no grant opportunities are currently available. The separate Ingalls Memorial Community Impact Grant Program was listed for local nonprofit, community-based organizations in its Southland service area, with a deadline of April 17, 2026; that deadline has passed.
