Allegany Franciscan Ministries

Allegany Franciscan Ministries is a non-profit Catholic organization, guided by this mission and rooted in the tradition and vision of the Franciscan Sisters of Allegany. A member of Trinity Health, we provide grants and work with community partners in three regions of Florida formerly served by the Sisters’ hospitals: Miami-Dade County, Palm Beach, Martin and St. Lucie Counties, and the Tampa Bay area of Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties.

Since awarding its first grant in 1998, Allegany Franciscan Ministries has invested nearly $81 million to over 1,400 organizations serving those most in need in these communities.

In addition to awarding grants, our staff and volunteers work collaboratively with community partners and other funders to promote physical, mental, spiritual, societal, and cultural health and well-being in the communities we serve.
