St. Luke’s Health Accepting 2026 Grant Applications

HOUSTON, TX -- St. Luke’s Health encourages local nonprofit agencies to apply to its grant funds program to help improve the health, mental well-being and health equity of the Houston region.

For fiscal year 2026, St. Luke’s Health will fund agencies tackling issues related to access to healthcare, heart disease and stroke, cancer, mental health, preventive health and wellness and social determinants of health.

“We look forward to partnering with local organizations committed to driving meaningful and measurable impact,” said Michael Lawson, Houston Market President of St. Luke’s Health. “Our aim is to strengthen local service systems and enhance the quality of life of people in underserved communities within St. Luke’s Health service areas.”

The deadline for nonprofits to apply for the grants is September 12.

Funding priorities are based on the health system's most recent Community Health Needs Assessment, a comprehensive process conducted every three years to better understand and respond to community needs.

St. Luke’s Health awarded $1.5 million in grants to area nonprofits during its 2025 fiscal year and $1 million in grants in 2024, the program’s inaugural year.

The CommonSpirit Health Community Health Improvement Grant program provides funding for the grants. St. Luke’s Health, a part of CommonSpirit Health, consists of 16 hospitals covering communities in Greater Houston, East Texas, and the Brazos Valley.
