Forsyth Memorial Hospital focuses on strengthening health and social supports within Winston‑Salem and Forsyth County, prioritizing access to care (particularly maternal/infant and senior health), disease-focused community health (cancer, heart), and basic needs. Grants concentrate on local nonprofits, community partnerships, and civic organizations that deliver direct services, outreach, or workforce/education supports, often through repeated multi-year or multiple grants to the same organizations.
A single local health system pattern defines Forsyth Memorial Hospital Inc: large, repeated grants to organizations that expand access to care in Winston-Salem and Forsyth County. The strongest example is the Young Men's Christian Association of Northwest North Carolina, which received $1,250,000 in 2024 and $948,206 in 2025 for community outreach and support access to care. Another recurring recipient is The Science Center and Environmental Park of Forsyth County Dba Sciworks, which received $420,000 in 2023, $209,120 in 2024, and $400,000 in 2025 tied to community outreach and maternal and infant health. Those awards show a funder that backs local institutions delivering health-related services beyond the clinic, including outreach, education, and navigation support. The foundation’s grants also point to a broad local health-and-social-support agenda. Senior Services Inc, Forsyth Healthcare Inc, and Forsyth Community Pcc LLC each appear among the larger awards, while cancer and heart-related organizations also receive support. The pattern suggests an emphasis on direct service organizations that can reach residents through community-based programming, not just one-time project grants. Across the recent list, the grantee base is overwhelmingly local and concentrated in Forsyth County.
Access to care is a clear throughline in the recent grants. Forsyth Memorial Hospital Inc gave $948,206 in 2025 to the Young Men's Christian Association of Northwest North Carolina for support access to care, and $150,000 in 2025 to Senior Services Inc for the same purpose. Those awards sit alongside community outreach funding for local health partners such as Forsyth Healthcare Inc. Maternal and infant health appears as a distinct focus area. In 2025, the foundation awarded $400,000 to The Science Center and Environmental Park of Forsyth County Dba Sciworks for support maternal and infant health. Earlier awards to Sciworks for community outreach indicate a continuing relationship with the organization. Community health education and disease support also show up through named grants to the American Heart Association Inc, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Inc, and Cancer Services Inc. The presence of these organizations suggests support for heart disease and cancer outreach within a broader local health strategy.

Geographically concentrated, locally oriented giving with a mix of a few large flagship gifts and many mid-size, repeat grants. The foundation favors sustaining established community partners and collaboratives over one-off national grants, demonstrating a preference for recurring support to organizations delivering direct services and community outreach.
Notable grantees: Young Men's Christian Association of Northwest North Carolina (YMCA), SciWorks (Science Center and Environmental Park of Forsyth County), Senior Services Inc, Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC, Crosby Scholars Community Partnership
Typical grant size is modest relative to the largest awards: the distribution sits at p25 $10,000, median $20,000, and p75 $30,000. The recent list also shows repeated support to the same organizations across multiple years, including the YMCA of Northwest North Carolina, SciWorks, Senior Services Inc, and United Way of Forsyth County Inc. That points to ongoing relationships rather than isolated gifts. Forsyth Memorial Hospital Inc is a public charity, not an individual-giving funder, and it does not make program-related investments. The grant record suggests direct, local operating or programmatic support rather than an open application-style grantmaker.
Grantmaking is overwhelmingly local: 93% of grants go to recipients in North Carolina, and all listed recipient countries are in the United States. Winston-Salem is the main recipient city, with many awards going there, including SciWorks, Senior Services Inc, Forsyth Healthcare Inc, and United Way of Forsyth County Inc. Other North Carolina recipients include High Point, Charlotte, Kernersville, and the Piedmont Triad. Outside the state, a small number of grants go to organizations in Dallas, Rye Brook, and White Plains, all in the US.
The recent grants show support for local health and social-service organizations, including the Young Men's Christian Association of Northwest North Carolina, Senior Services Inc, Forsyth Healthcare Inc, United Way of Forsyth County Inc, and The Science Center and Environmental Park of Forsyth County Dba Sciworks.

Typical grant size is $10,000 at the 25th percentile, $20,000 at the median, and $30,000 at the 75th percentile.
