Anchorum St. Vincent

What Anchorum St. Vincent does

Anchorum Health Foundation (formerly Anchorum St. Vincent) is a private non-profit health foundation headquartered in Santa Fe, New Mexico, operating as New Mexico's largest foundation with over $500 million in assets. The organization was recapitalized in October 2023 when Anchorum St. Vincent transferred its 50% stake in CHRISTUS St. Vincent Regional Medical Center to CHRISTUS Health, committing 100% of transaction proceeds plus the majority of its assets to the newly established foundation. Anchorum invests in the social determinants of health across 13 northern New Mexico counties, 4 adjacent counties, and 23 federally-recognized Tribal Nations and Pueblos, deploying capital into affordable housing, healthcare workforce development, community health programs, educational initiatives, and community foundation capacity.

Anchorum's core operating model is strategic grantmaking and impact investing rather than product or service revenue generation. Its primary funding streams include a $200 million 10-year commitment to northern New Mexico health outcomes, a $109 million 10-year Clinical Support Fund for CHRISTUS St. Vincent, a $25 million 5-year investment across five community foundations (Las Vegas, Los Alamos, New Mexico, Taos, Santa Fe), $15.5 million in affordable housing capital, and recurring community event sponsorships ranging from $500 to $5,000. Distribution occurs through multi-year grants, low-interest loans, impact investments, and an embedded Fellows program, with key partners including CHRISTUS Health, Mayo Clinic Care Network, Homewise, Native Community Capital, Enterprise Bank & Trust, New Mexico Bank & Trust, and the LANL Foundation.

The organization is governed by a board chaired by Sayuri Yamada and led by President & CEO Jerry Jones, supported by a small executive team including a CFO, COO, VP of Health Strategies, VP of Native Health Partnerships, and Directors of Communications, Grants Management, Operations, Finance, and Learning & Innovation. Anchorum markets and communicates through its website, email newsletter, press releases, YouTube video content, social media, and community event sponsorships. The foundation does not operate as a technology company; its work consists of capital deployment, partnership coordination, and program co-design with regional grantees.

Direct peers

• Con Alma Health Foundation: New Mexico-based health foundation focused on health equity and community health across the state. Directly comparable to Anchorum as a regional health foundation deploying grants and impact investments to address disparities in New Mexico communities.
• Paso del Norte Health Foundation: Regional health foundation serving the Paso del Norte region (El Paso, southern New Mexico, Ciudad Juárez). Comparable to Anchorum in mission, regional health focus, and grantmaking model targeting cross-border community health.
• Santa Fe Community Foundation: Community foundation serving the Santa Fe region that is both a direct peer (community-based foundation in same geography) and a recipient of Anchorum funding. Operates a similar model of pooled philanthropy addressing local priorities.

Broad incumbents

• The California Endowment: A large multi-billion-dollar health foundation focused on health equity and access for underserved communities in California. Comparable to Anchorum as a large-scale health-specific grantmaker applying place-based philanthropy to social determinants, though serving a much larger geography.
• Robert Wood Johnson Foundation: The largest US philanthropy focused exclusively on health, with a national, system-level orientation toward social determinants. Comparable in mission to Anchorum but at vastly greater scale, providing a reference model for how a regional health foundation can scale over time.
• Kresge Foundation: National foundation with explicit programs addressing social determinants of health, including housing, education, and community development. Comparable to Anchorum in focus areas and use of programmatic investments alongside grants to drive systemic change.

Regional players

• McCune Charitable Foundation: New Mexico-focused private foundation supporting economic development, education, and community health. Comparable to Anchorum as a regional New Mexico grantmaker with a similar multi-issue community focus, though without Anchorum's exclusive health framing.

Others

• Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Mexico: Operates the Caring Foundation and other community health programs in New Mexico, including health equity grants to nonprofits. Adjacent to Anchorum as another health-focused funder in the same regional ecosystem, though structured as a corporate/insurance entity rather than an independent foundation.
