About North Carolina Association of Free and Charitable Clinics
North Carolina Association of Free and Charitable Clinics Inc directs its giving to member clinics serving uninsured people across North Carolina, with much of the recent record tied to COVID-19-related healthcare costs. The largest grant in the file, $490,400 to ABCCM Medical Ministry in Asheville, shows the scale of support flowing to local clinic partners. Other large awards went to Alliance Medical Ministry in Raleigh and Camino Community Center (Camino Clinic) in Charlotte, both also for increasing access to healthcare for uninsured individuals. The pattern in the recent grants points to a statewide clinic network rather than isolated one-off projects: multiple clinics appear again in later years with continued support, and the purposes consistently center on access to primary care, pharmacy help, dental care, and related services. The foundation’s own summary describes its work as equipping and supporting member clinics that provide care for uninsured individuals across North Carolina, which matches the grant list closely. Recent awards also include support to clinics in Asheville, Winston-Salem, Goldsboro, Hendersonville, Huntersville, and Elizabeth City, indicating broad in-state reach.
What North Carolina Association of Free and Charitable Clinics Funds
A clear theme is support for access to care for uninsured patients. In 2025, the foundation gave $245,600 to Abccm Medical Ministry in Asheville and $241,561 to Camino Clinic in Charlotte, both labeled support for member clinics. Earlier grants show the same access goal through COVID-19-related costs, including $356,048 to Community Care Center for Forsyth County in Winston Salem and $329,791 to WATCH Healthcare in Goldsboro. The data also points to clinic operations and technical support as part of the model. In 2025, Community Care Center for Forsyth C in Winston Salem received $216,770 for support to a member clinic, while Healthnet Albemarle in Elizabeth City received $215,372 for the same purpose. Pharmacy-related work appears in the foundation’s stated focus areas, and the grant history aligns with that broader care network approach rather than single-service programs.
How North Carolina Association of Free and Charitable Clinics Gives
The typical grant size is mid-six figures at the top end of this set, with p25 at $43,050, a median of $94,487, and p75 at $165,180. Recent awards cluster around recurring support for the same clinic partners over multiple years; for example, NC MedAssist, The Free Clinics, Alliance Medical Ministry, and Lake Norman Community Health Clinic each appear more than once. The foundation funds organizations rather than individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its giving is restricted to North Carolina, and the recent file shows project-specific support tied to member-clinic operations, especially around COVID-19-related healthcare costs and clinic support.
