Founded in 1986 and headquartered in San Francisco, Dignity Health is the fifth largest health system in the nation and the largest hospital provider in California. In 1990, it established a Community Grants program, which has provided over $51 million in support to over 3,000 projects working to improve access to jobs, housing, food, education, and health care for people in low-income and minority communities. To create larger pools of capital for those who have been historically underserved, Dignity Health established a Community Investments program, which provides below-market interest rate loans to nonprofit organizations working to improve the health and quality of life in their communities. Since 1992, Dignity Health has invested more than $88.1 million in 185 nonprofits that are developing child care and community clinics, affordable housing for low-income families and seniors, job training for the unemployed or underemployed, and health care services for low-income and minority neighborhoods.
