01What it does

What St Marys Health Clinics does

Mission

The sole program is St. Mary's Health Clinics, through these clinics primary health care services are provided to the poor and medically underserved population. The clinic services are free and clinics themselves are nondenominational. Eleven clinic sessions a week are in operation throughout the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area. The clinics serve low income individuals and families who are without medical coverage and ineligible for government subsidy programs. Clinic staff work with hospitals, physicians and pharmacies to provide additional health care services when needed. These services are also paid for by the organization where the individual cannot afford them and other resources are not available. The central office staff provides administration and coordination. In addition, the central office screens patients to ensure they are not eligible for other health coverage and assists patients to enroll in various programs if they are eligible.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 5 funders to 13 funders, grant income rose $164k → $774k.

6 of 43 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 8% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

From the IRS filings of ST MARYS HEALTH CLINICS’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 43 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

How concentrated its funding is

ST MARYS HEALTH CLINICS has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 33% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left

74% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund ST MARYS HEALTH CLINICS.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $370k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
