About Potomac Health Foundation
The Potomac Health Foundation appears to focus on strengthening local behavioral health crisis services in its home region: its sole recorded grant is a $1,000,000 award to Prince William County for a Crisis Receiving and Stabilization Center. This indicates the foundation prioritizes investments in crisis response infrastructure and county-level public mental health capacity rather than broad national giving. The grant is highly place-based and operational/capital in nature, aimed at immediate community need within Prince William County/Woodbridge, VA.

About Potomac Health Foundation
A $1,000,000 award to Prince William County Community Services for a Crisis Receiving and Stabilization Center defines Potomac Health Foundation’s recent giving. That grant was repeated at $500,000 in both 2024 and 2025, showing sustained support for local behavioral health crisis infrastructure rather than one-time project funding. The same pattern appears across other grants tied to mental health, access to care, and service capacity in Northern Virginia and Washington, DC. The foundation’s recent recipients include Youth for Tomorrow, which received $363,445 in 2023 and $291,165 in 2024 for coordinated behavioral health services in Dumfries, and Northern Virginia Family Service, which received operating support in multiple years. Other grants have gone to organizations serving people with developmental disabilities, housing needs, and health access barriers. Potomac Health Foundation also funded public health benefits navigation, permanent supportive housing, and oral care for low-resource adults. The grant list shows a place-based funder working through counties, community service agencies, clinics, and nonprofit intermediaries to expand local health access and stabilize urgent care pathways.
