About Firsthealth of the Carolinas

A $120,000 general-support grant to Moore County Free Clinic sets the tone for Firsthealth of the Carolinas Inc’s giving: the foundation backs local health access and related community supports with practical, unrestricted funding. Across the recent grants list, its largest awards go to organizations tied to Moore County and the surrounding Sandhills, including county government, free clinic infrastructure, and community service partners. That pattern aligns with a local grantmaking profile rather than a broad national one. The foundation’s recent activity shows repeated support for health-focused institutions, municipal and county functions, and organizations that help residents access basic services. Moore County recipients appear alongside groups in Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Carthage, Sanford, Rockingham, and nearby towns, indicating a tightly regional approach. Firsthealth of the Carolinas Inc also uses general support as the dominant grant purpose in the data, suggesting that it is often reinforcing operating capacity rather than funding one-time projects. Its giving includes both public-sector and nonprofit partners, with awards large enough to matter for community-facing service delivery but still centered on local needs. The result is a funder profile built around everyday infrastructure: clinics, county services, youth support, and community aid.
