Humboldt Park Health, a tax-exempt nonprofit that receives significant public funding to perform services also offered by the state, was approved to receive two grants totaling $13,600,000 in FY2024, according to passed legislation data extracted from the Illinois General Assembly’s FY2024 budget (Public Act 102-6 0698).

The listed appropriations included grants of $13,300,000 and $300,000 if two, each designated for programs or services funded by the State of Illinois.

These appropriations represent state-level funding authorized by lawmakers, reflecting what was approved in the budget, not necessarily disbursed. The funds cover only State of Illinois support and exclude federal, local, or other public sources.

Founded in 1894, Humboldt Park Health states that its mission is: “Humboldt Park Health is committed to advancing health equity and providing high quality and compassionate health care services by partnering with patients and their families, our employees, medical staff and the communities we serve.”

You can learn more about the organization at its website.

In its most recent IRS Form 990 filing filing for tax year 2024, the organization reported $148,160,000 in total revenue. Of that, $7,631,440 came from government grants including federal, state, or local sources, making up 5.2% of total revenue.

The nonprofit listed $8,093,920 in contributions overall.

At the beginning of 2024, Humboldt Park Health had $138,263,000 in assets. By the end of 2024, that figure had changed to $152,991,000, indicating a 10.7% growth in overall holdings.

According to its filing, public funding to Humboldt Park Health declined in the last year, falling from $18,962,900 in 2023 to $7,631,440 in 2024—a decrease of 59.8% year-over-year.

However, a Chicago City Wire analysis found that IRS filings frequently contain discrepancies when compared with publicly disclosed government grant reports and budgets.

Humboldt Park Health is one of hundreds of nonprofits across Illinois that receive substantial support from state taxpayers while also fundraising privately.

In 2025, Illinois lawmakers introduced House Bill 1266, also known as the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Act. The proposal would create a new oversight body within the Office of the Auditor General tasked with identifying cost-saving measures, reviewing agency performance, and advising on audit priorities. If passed, DOGE could bring additional scrutiny and performance evaluation to taxpayer-funded organizations.

According to ProPublica, Illinois has more than 78,000 active tax-exempt organizations, including nearly 60,000 classified as charitable nonprofits. In their most recent IRS filings, these groups reported a combined revenue exceeding $156 billion.
