All programs must be aligned with Mercy’s mission and strategic vision, meet an identified health need within the community and be an active collaborative partner with the local Mercy facility.

- Catherine McAuley Area of Greatest Need will award a total of $100,000 collected through the Mercy Way Campaign and donated through the generosity of Mercy ministry office co-workers. Applicants may apply for the full amount or a portion of the funds.
