Essentia Health contributes almost $1.75M in community grants in FY23

We’ve crunched the numbers for our most recent fiscal year, which ended June 30, and Essentia contributed nearly $1.75 million to more than 140 nonprofit partners across our service area. These partners reported that the funds they received would impact nearly one million people.

Essentia prioritizes giving to nonprofit organizations working to address social determinants of health in four key priority areas, including economic stability; access to education and healthy youth development; access to right-time, right-place health care; and neighborhood improvements that promote health and safety.
