The country’s Catholic hospitals have strayed from their social-care mission, focusing more on fiscal issues and faith-based restrictions on care than on tending to the poor and marginalized, critics say. Catholic hospital systems make up a sizeable portion of the industry and sometimes hold a monopoly in their areas. One chain in Washington state charges rates well above Medicare’s reimbursement rates or those of other systems in the state, researchers say. Meanwhile more than three dozen Catholic systems pay their CEOs more than $1 million annually. Their defenders say they must pay well to attract the best leaders, and they dismiss research showing that the value of Catholic hospitals’ community care lags the value of their tax exemptions, saying it is incomplete.

A group of young people who sued the federal government over fossil-fuel policies has asked the Supreme Court to examine the case, which was dismissed by an appeals court. Represented by the nonprofit law firm Our Children’s Trust, the plaintiffs say the Justice Department has relied on procedural moves to deprive them of their day in court. The Justice Department argues that the trial court lacks jurisdiction and that a trial could not produce a “workable remedy that could be ordered or enforced.” An appeals court had ruled that the political arena, rather than the courts, was the proper venue to air the issue.

Young People: Young Futures aims to support youth-led, youth-designed solutions that give teens the agency to thrive in a tech-filled world. Young Futures’ Under Pressure Challenge is a $1 million commitment and open funding call for early-stage organizations and solutions focused on alleviating the pressures teens (ages 10 to 19) in the U.S. feel growing up in a tech driven world. Solutions can be tech driven (e.g., an app or online platform), offered online or in-person (e.g., campaign, curriculum, community, or digital platform), or feature a hybrid approach. Grant up to $1 million total will be provided to up to ten organizations.
Education: The Teagle Foundation works to support and strengthen liberal arts education in the United States. The Foundation’s Transfer Pathways to the Liberal Arts initiative, jointly sponsored with the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations, aims to bring the lifelong benefits of a liberal arts education to students who historically have been excluded from higher education—including low-income students, first-generation students, students of color, and immigrant students. Support is provided for statewide, regional, or consortial academic partnerships between public two-year and private four-year colleges to facilitate transfer and completion of the baccalaureate in the liberal arts. Deadline for concept papers is December 1.
