Fawcett Memorial Hospital Medical Staff Fund focuses on improving local health and human services in Charlotte County, FL, prioritizing primary care access, disease-specific health charities, and disaster response while also supporting community institutions such as schools, veterans' memorials, and museums. Their grants mix larger gifts to frontline medical providers and health organizations with smaller awards to community nonprofits that serve families, youth, veterans, and local civic life.
A 25,000-dollar grant to Virginia B Andes Vol Clinic for medical care for the poor is the clearest signal in recent giving from Fawcett Memorial Hospital Medical Staff Fund Inc: the funder backs frontline health access, especially for low-income residents in Charlotte County and nearby communities. The grant history shows repeated support for the same clinic, alongside gifts to emergency relief, physician education, and local family services. That mix points to a public charity funding direct service as well as community capacity, not just one-off charitable donations. The foundation also funds health-related charities beyond primary care. In 2023, it supported the American Heart Association and the American Cancer Society, and it has made multiple gifts to the National Kidney Foundation. Those grants sit alongside smaller awards to veterans memorials, a wildlife center, and a community foundation, showing a pattern of supporting both health needs and local civic institutions. Recent years show grants ranging from modest awards to larger 20,000- and 25,000-dollar gifts, with multiple awards in 2023 and 2025. The funder’s portfolio is concentrated in practical local support: clinics, disaster recovery, family services, and organizations serving children, veterans, and patients.
Primary care access is central to the funder’s recent work. It gave 20,000 dollars in 2023 to Virginia B Andes Vol Clinic in Port Charlotte for medical care for the poor, following a 25,000-dollar grant to the same clinic for the same purpose. That pattern shows sustained support for local low-income care. Family and youth services are another clear lane. In 2025, the foundation awarded 20,000 dollars to YMCA of SW Florida for children and families of Charlotte County, and it also gave 10,000 dollars to United Way of Charlotte County for Families First. Earlier support for United Way included a 5,000-dollar grant tied to Families First Covid 19. The funder also supports physician education and disaster response. It awarded 10,000 dollars to Florida Medical Association for education of physicians, and in 2023 it gave 25,000 dollars to The HCA Hope Fund for Hurricane Ian Relief. Health charities appear too, including the American Heart Association and National Kidney Foundation.

Typical grants cluster at the low end of a narrow band: p25 is 2,500 dollars, median is 5,000 dollars, and p75 is 5,000 dollars. The recent record shows both smaller local gifts and several larger awards at 10,000 to 25,000 dollars.

Most grants are straightforward charitable awards rather than program-related investments, and no application process is described in the data.
