The foundation’s giving is closely tied to hospital infrastructure and service delivery. Its stated priorities include capital projects, equipment purchases, innovative program development, and clinical support for Caldwell Memorial Hospital and affiliates. The recent grant also connects to care settings used by hospital patients and staff, showing how the foundation’s support can reach both physical improvements and clinical capacity. In addition to general hospital support, its active programs include a capital campaign for the McCreary Cancer Center and fundraising tied to hospital projects and behavioral health services. The foundation is led by Virginia N Hoyle and reported $19,890,294 in assets for the latest 990 year on file, 2024.

Cancer care is one of the foundation’s clearest program areas. Through the Building Hope Campaign / McCreary Cancer Center Fund, Caldwell Memorial Hospital Foundation Inc. supports capital fundraising for the McCreary Cancer Center in Lenoir, including naming opportunities and equipment. Behavioral health is another recurring theme in its fundraising. The Annual Patron’s Gala is used to support hospital projects, including funding for Jonas Hill Hospital and Clinic and a behavioral health pavilion. The foundation also backs short-term health response and patient support. Its COVID-19 Fund is designed to assist Caldwell UNC Health’s immediate needs, including personal protective equipment for providers, support for vulnerable patients, and improved patient experience and caregiver support. Across these efforts, the foundation links philanthropy to hospital operations, capital development, and clinical services rather than broad grantmaking.
