Focused on women, children and youth, Saint Ann Foundation was America’s first “health care conversion” foundation, and the first to be sponsored by a religious congregation.
Three Sisters of Charity Foundations were established in 1996 with funds from the sale of 50% of the Ohio and South Carolina hospitals: Sisters of Charity Foundation of Canton, Sisters of Charity Foundation of Cleveland and Sisters of Charity Foundation of South Carolina. In January 2006, the Sisters of Charity Foundation of Cleveland joined with the Saint Ann Foundation to form a single organization.
Through strategic grantmaking, convenings and collaboration, each of the three foundations have helped people in Northeast Ohio and South Carolina by addressing root causes of poverty, nurturing the growth of healthy communities, emphasizing the needs of youth and families, and measuring the outcomes of these efforts.
The Sisters of Charity Foundations invest millions of dollars annually in grants to strengthen their communities and those most in need.
