The Fleshman-Pratt Foundation concentrates its modest grantmaking on direct human services in the Winston‑Salem/Northwest North Carolina area, primarily supporting eldercare and hunger relief. Its giving is targeted and local: roughly half the dollars go to Senior Services (eldercare) and the other half to Second Harvest (food bank), indicating a focus on basic needs for vulnerable populations. The foundation tends to make a small number of relatively large gifts to a few repeat local partners rather than many small, diverse grants.
Fleshman-Pratt Foundation Inc. makes most of its grants to a small set of local organizations in Winston-Salem and Northwest North Carolina, with repeat support for eldercare and food security standing out in the recent record. The largest recent gifts go to Senior Services and Second Harvest Food Bank of NW NC, each receiving six-figure support across 2023 and 2024 grant cycles when combined with closely related awards in the same local network. That pattern points to a foundation that concentrates on direct human services rather than a broad portfolio of unrelated causes. The foundation’s recent giving also shows consistent backing for palliative care, emergency assistance, and community welfare organizations serving Forsyth County. Trellis Supportive Services, Crisis Control Ministry, and Winston Salem Rescue Mission each appear in consecutive years, suggesting ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards. The grant list further includes support for family services, housing assistance, arts education, and several smaller local and regional charities, but the center of gravity remains practical help for older adults and people facing basic-needs insecurity. With annual grants of $445,000 and assets of $1,455,959, it operates at a modest scale while maintaining a focused local profile.
Eldercare is one of the clearest themes in the recent record. The foundation gave $30,000 in 2024 to Senior Services for eldercare, and another $5,000 in 2024 to Baptist Retirement Home for eldercare, showing support for older adults through more than one local channel. Food security is another visible priority. Second Harvest Food Bank of NW NC received $26,000 in both 2023 and 2024 for community welfare, placing food access within the foundation’s core community-response pattern. Beyond basic needs, the foundation supports related human-services work. Trellis Supportive Services received $20,000 in both 2023 and 2024 for palliative care, while Crisis Control Ministry received $18,000 in both years for general charitable assistance. Those awards sit alongside gifts to Family Services, Habitat for Humanity of Forsyth County, and Winston Salem Rescue Mission, all of which fit a broader local support model.
Typical grants fall in a relatively tight band, with a p25 of $5,000, a median of $7,000, and a p75 of $14,750. That distribution fits a foundation that makes a limited number of mid-sized grants rather than many small awards. The recent list also shows repeat giving: several recipients appear in both 2023 and 2024, including senior services, food banking, palliative care, and emergency-assistance organizations. The foundation does not fund individuals and makes no program-related investments. Its pattern is straightforward grantmaking through direct charitable support, with no application process described in the available data.
