Impact of your support

Mercy Foundation is deeply grateful for the support by its many donors, whose kindness, compassion and generosity mean everything to those in need.

One-hundred percent of donations funds the programs and services donors choose. Because Mercy Foundation receives an operating grant from Dignity Health (formerly Catholic Healthcare West), no overhead or administrative fees are assessed on gifts. That means every penny supports people in the community who need assistance. For example, in the last year alone:

• More than 100 under- and uninsured women received life-saving mammograms, biopsies and ultrasounds at Mercy clinics
  
• All 53 students from Cristo Rey High School’s first graduating class were accepted to college
  
• Mercy Education Resource Center conducted 2,063 hours of tutoring and 397 hours of counseling, and 39 adults and 23 children received English as a second language training
  
• Mercy Housing opened Martin Luther King, Jr. Village to provide safe, affordable housing for the formerly homeless
  
• More than 170 flat-screen TVs were installed at Bruceville Terrace to provide “Windows to the World” for its skilled nursing patients who otherwise would have little or no connection to the outside world
