About Novant Health
Novant Health Inc’s largest recent awards center on hospital-linked support rather than broad national philanthropy: in 2025 it gave $16,390,905 to UNC Health Foundation Inc for academic and clinical support, following $15,913,500 in 2024 and $15,450,000 in 2023 to the same grantee for community outreach. That pattern shows a funder using major grants to extend healthcare-related capacity and community service through partner institutions. The foundation also backs regional health infrastructure, including a $1,650,714 grant in 2024 and a $1,519,539 grant in 2023 to Rowan Regional Medical Center Foundation Inc, both tied to community outreach and support for Novant Health Rowan Regional Medical Center. Beyond those large commitments, its smaller awards reach clinics, food support organizations, housing groups, and workforce partners, reflecting a grantmaker that links health access with the social conditions around it. The active program description emphasizes expanding healthcare beyond hospitals and clinics by investing in people and communities with a focus on equity, empathy, safety, and quality.

The foundation also supports prevention-oriented work through the American Heart Association Inc, with grants of $75,000 in 2025, $74,725 in 2023, and $71,100 in 2024.
