The crisis in youth behavioral health across Southern Illinois demands a coordinated, systemic response. The St. Clare Foundation (SCF) is stepping forward as the Trusted Convener & Catalyst, and we invite you to an exclusive Open House to learn how our new grant cycle will fuel lasting change in our community.
We are actively uniting the region’s key leaders—healthcare providers, educators, and community organizations—to forge a cohesive, integrated system of care.
Join us at the St. Clare Foundation Open House to gain critical insights:
Meet The Catalyst: Be introduced to the St. Clare Foundation's vision—A community with no unmet health and social needs—and our role in enabling early identification, effective intervention, and seamless integration of youth behavioral health services.
Explore Grant Opportunities: Get a preliminary, in-depth look at our inaugural grant cycle, which formally opens on January 2, 2026. We will detail the purpose and focus of our three key investment tiers:
Anchor Grants - for foundational, scalable service models

Mini-Grants - for immediate, essential resource needs
