Evolving from St. Joseph's Hospital Foundation in 1999, the McAuley Foundation continues the Sisters of Mercy's 100-year tradition of service to the people of Western North Carolina by supporting the Sisters of Mercy's Asheville-based ministries.

During 2006, the McAuley Foundation Steering Committee, led by Chairperson Sam Stickney, was formed to guide the activities of the organization.

The McAuley Foundation is a 501(c)3 organization and relies on contributions and investments as its major source of income. Recent Foundation efforts have included funding digital imaging for Urgent Care and facility development.
