Mary Washington Healthcare exists to improve the health of the people in the communities we serve.
Mary Washington Healthcare’s grantmaking is built around community benefit funds that support health-related projects in the Fredericksburg region and Stafford County. The foundation’s recent awards show a clear emphasis on local nonprofit partners working on community health, access to care, prevention, wellness, and related services. Its grant records also reflect support for health education, medical technology, and educational scholarships tied to the hospital foundation’s community benefit structure. Among the larger recent awards, Rappahannock United Way received multiple grants over three years, including $52,490 in 2023, $50,685 in 2024, and $38,193 in 2025. Other substantial grants went to the Fredericksburg Regional Chamber of Commerce for general support and to Germanna Community College Education Foundation for general support and event sponsorship. The foundation also backed a mix of community organizations and health-sector partners such as the VA Health Care Foundation, Virginia Hospital and Healthcare Association, and Fredericksburg VA Main Street Inc. The organization’s public description says it exists to improve the health of the people in the communities it serves, and its grant history follows that mission through recurring local support.
