Cone Health Foundation eliminates health inequities by advocating for and investing in community-driven solutions.
Moses Cone - Wesley Long Community Health Foundation’s giving is built around community-driven solutions to health inequities in Greensboro, with grantmaking shaped by historically marginalized communities. A large share of its recent work has supported access to care and integrated health services, including repeated support for Family Service of the Piedmont and Guilford Adult Health. The foundation also backs organizations that connect health care with housing, food, education, and economic stability, reflecting its stated focus on the social drivers of health. Its recent grants show a steady mix of direct service, systems integration, and community partnerships. One example is a 2025 grant of $701,000 to East Market Street Development Corporation for “Response to Community Needs - FY24 and East Greens,” which sits alongside other major awards to Greensboro-based health and community organizations. Another recurring area is health access: Family Service of the Piedmont received $583,150 in 2023 for access to healthcare and $407,994 in 2025 for integrating behavioral health and primary care. The foundation also supports clinical and community-based work through grants to groups such as Guilford Adult Health, Cone Health Congregational Nurse Program, and Triad Health Project.
Access to care is a central theme in the foundation’s portfolio. In 2023, it gave $583,150 to Family Service of the Piedmont Inc for access to healthcare, and it also supported Guilford Adult Health with $514,091 for access to healthcare activities. Behavioral health integration is another clear priority. The foundation awarded $407,994 to Family Service of the Piedmont Inc in 2025 for integrating behavioral health and primary care, and it provided $219,461 to Alcohol and Drug Services of Guilford Inc for “ADS ICP and Co-Occurring Services.” HIV services also appear repeatedly. Triad Health Project received $230,000 in 2024 for HIV Prevention and Care Services and $161,000 in 2025 for HIV Prevention and Care Services. In youth and reproductive health, Guilford County Department of Public Health received $159,218 in 2023 for Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention.

Typical grants cluster between $10,000 and $129,299, with a median of $35,000 and a 75th percentile of $129,299. The recent grant list also includes several larger awards well above that range, showing capacity for six-figure support when a program or partnership calls for it. The foundation operates as a regular funder rather than a donor-advised fund, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The active grant programs include capacity building, advocacy, and competitive community health grants, and one capacity-building support grant program is marked as accepting unsolicited applications. Recent grants also show repeat support to the same organizations across multiple years, including Family Service of the Piedmont, Guilford Adult Health, and Alcohol and Drug Services of Guilford.
Grantmaking is overwhelmingly local: 95% of grants go to recipients in North Carolina. Greensboro accounts for much of the activity, with recipient organizations there including East Market Street Development Corporation, Guilford Adult Health, Cone Health Congregational Nurse Program, and Triad Health Project. Jamestown also appears as a recipient location for Family Service of the Piedmont. Beyond the Greensboro area, a smaller number of grants go to Raleigh and Durham, but the recipient-country distribution is entirely U.S.-based.
The foundation supports access to health care, healthy food and food security, education, safe and healthy housing, economic mobility, adolescent pregnancy prevention, HIV services, substance use and mental health, and advocacy. Its taxonomy also includes integrated care, Medicaid navigation, harm reduction, and homelessness prevention.
