Community Benefit Ministry Grant Fund

Over 20 years ago, MercyOne Dubuque Medical Center established a Community Benefit – Ministry Grant Fund which to date has distributed over $5 million to community partners and mission-driven programs within MercyOne that advance our Mission and serve our community. 

Purpose 

The Community Benefit – Ministry Grant Fund, provides restricted grants for projects that align with MercyOne's Mission, Values and Community Health Needs Assessment. We anticipate distributing up to $200,000 (total) in internal and external grants this cycle. Priority is given to requests that address health inequities (i.e., health status or mortality rates that are unnatural, systemic, patterned, unfair or unjust) and which can demonstrate measurable improvement to community health needs. Any organization may submit applications for projects that meet the criteria and parameters.
