HAMBURG, N.Y.
 – Hilbert College was awarded a $420,000 grant from The Mother Cabrini Health Foundation. This is the fifth year Hilbert has received this grant and will be used to continue essential support of the Franciscan Advocacy & Resource Center at Hilbert. The services that this Center provides helps students overcome life issues and supports and strengthens their ability to transition and thrive in their educational setting and beyond.

“We are deeply honored by the wide-ranging impact of our work and by the dedication of our grantees across New York State. We’re inspired by the compassionate legacy of Mother Frances Cabrini, as this year marks a significant milestone in our grantmaking, as we surpassed $1 billion in grants since our founding. This moment fuels our commitment as a Foundation to look toward the future, where we will continue making bold investments in a healthier, more equitable future for all,” Msgr. Gregory Mustaciuolo, Chief Executive Officer of the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation.

“Today, we celebrate with the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation as they mark over $1 billion given in grants since their first year of operation in 2019,” Hilbert President Michael S. Brophy, Ph.D. said. “This milestone is more than a number – it’s a reflection of the Foundation’s steadfast dedication to improving lives and addressing the most pressing health and social challenges across New York State. For Hilbert College, being a grantee of this extraordinary foundation since their beginning, has been transformative. Their support of the Franciscan Advocacy & Resource Center has changed the lives of the students we serve and the Hilbert community as a whole.”

The Franciscan Advocacy & Resource Center at Hilbert focuses on:

  • Student Accessibility, Success, and Retention
  • Campus Ministry Outreach, including the Campus Food Pantry
  • Student Mental Health and Well-being
  • Student Scholarships and Emergency Funding
  • Collaborative Learning and Community Building

This funding will continue to strengthen our mental health and wellness initiatives at Hilbert, diversity, equity and inclusion programming, address food insecurity and provide emergency funding and scholarships to vulnerable students.

The Mother Cabrini Health Foundation is a private, nonprofit organization whose mission is to improve the health and well-being of New Yorkers, bolster the health outcomes of vulnerable communities, eliminate barriers to care, and bridge gaps in health services. Named after a tireless advocate for immigrants, children, and the poor, the Foundation funds programs and initiatives across New York State that provide either direct healthcare services or address the social determinants of health.
