Health foundation focuses on the five boroughs
The foundation is headquartered in New York City.[27] It was named for Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini, a Roman Catholic nun who founded the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and was the first naturalized American citizen to be canonized a saint. She worked to help poor immigrants and children in New York.[2][1]
The foundation is among the 25 wealthiest charitable foundations in the United States, based on its assets, and the largest to focus on New York State.[27] Grants from the foundation are provided to initiatives and organizations that support underserved and low-income communities in New York State and aim to improve healthcare and quality of life, specifically social determinants of health.[2][28]
The former vicar general and chancellor of the Archdiocese of New York, Rev. Msgr. Gregory Mustaciuolo, is the organization's CEO.[29]
Former member of the New York State Assembly Marcos Crespo was appointed to the organization's board of directors in June 2022.[30]
