To provide exceptional care for all, regardless of ability to pay, and to improve community health through prevention, access, outstanding patient outcomes and support in times of challenge.
A single $5,000,000 grant to the City of Greensboro anchors Moses H Cone Memorial Hospital Operating Corporation’s recent record and shows how the funder uses large community commitments to advance health equity and healthy communities. The organization’s giving is tied to its mission to provide exceptional care regardless of ability to pay and to improve community health through prevention, access, patient outcomes, and support in times of challenge. Recent awards also point to a broad local network of hospitals, colleges, nonprofit partners, and civic groups that help carry that mission into the community. Across the grants list, the foundation supports both health-related initiatives and community infrastructure. It has backed United Way of Greater Greensboro for community nonprofit organizations, Family Support Network of Central North Carolina for community support, and local health education and advocacy efforts at institutions such as Elon University, UNC Greensboro, and Guilford Technical Community College Foundation. Event sponsorships also appear in the record, including support connected to Executive Women’s Day. The pattern suggests a funder that uses grants to reinforce clinical goals, expand community access, and support organizations working in Greensboro and surrounding North Carolina communities.
Healthcare access and community health are central themes. In 2025, Moses H Cone Memorial Hospital Operating Corporation gave $5,000,000 to the City of Greensboro for health equity and healthy communities, and it also supported Authoracare Collective with $106,500 for support of the community. Education and workforce development form another clear strand. The foundation gave $310,000 to Alamance Community College Fou in 2023 for education and advocacy, and later awarded $72,340 to Elon University for the same purpose. It also funded Reading Connections with $65,000 in 2025 and UNC Greensboro with $50,100 for education and advocacy. Healthy lifestyles appear in separate grants as well. The Health Management Academy Inc received $112,500 in 2024 for promotion of healthy lifestyles, while the American Heart Assoc received $77,500 in 2023 and $50,000 in 2025 for the same focus.

Typical grants are modest relative to the organization’s overall giving: p25 is $10,000, median grant size is $20,000, and p75 is $50,000. The recent list also shows repeated support to several recipients across multiple years, including the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce, Elon University, Family Support Network of Central North Carolina, Rockingham Co Student Hlth Ctr, and the American Heart Assoc, which points to recurring relationships rather than one-time awards.
