The Presbyterian Hospital Foundation is primarily a health system funder focused on supporting hospitals and clinical services in North Carolina, with the bulk of its dollars directed to Presbyterian Hospital and affiliated Novant Health institutions. Alongside major institutional support, the foundation makes smaller, targeted grants to community health clinics, behavioral health and social-service providers, and programs that expand access to medical care for underserved populations. Its giving is regionally concentrated in the Charlotte–Winston Salem corridor and emphasizes operational support for health care delivery and community outreach that connects patients to care.
Presbyterian Hospital Foundation’s recent giving is anchored by repeated support for Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center, including grants of $5,234,300 in 2023, $4,506,394 in 2024, and $4,081,956 in 2025. That pattern shows a foundation that funds hospital operations and system support at a scale far above its community awards, while also backing affiliated medical centers and service lines across the Novant Health network. The foundation also directs substantial dollars to other parts of the health system, such as Novant Medical Group, Novant Health Inc., Presbyterian Medical Care Corp., and Forsyth Memorial Hospital Inc. Those grants point to a funder that prioritizes institutional stability, clinical capacity, and coordinated care delivery rather than isolated project funding. Alongside the largest hospital awards, it makes smaller community grants to local clinics and service organizations in Charlotte, including Charlotte Community Health Clinic Inc. and Care Ring Inc., showing a mix of system-level support and direct community access to care. Its active grant programs reinforce that pattern: research and education, cancer care, heart and vascular initiatives, pediatrics, and general medical center support. Across those areas, the foundation appears focused on strengthening the health-care infrastructure patients rely on in North Carolina.
In hospital operations and medical center support, the foundation gave $5,234,300 in 2023 to The Presbyterian Hospital to support NH Presbyterian Medical Center, then repeated the same purpose with $4,506,394 in 2024 and $4,081,956 in 2025. It also supported Presbyterian Medical Care Corp. with $167,452 in 2023 and $155,795 in 2024 for NH Matthews Medical Center. For community health outreach, it awarded $190,000 to Charlotte Community Health Clinic Inc. for community outreach and $95,112 to Care Ring Inc. for the same purpose. Smaller outreach grants also went to Charlotte Rescue Mission, Medassist of Mecklenburg Dba NC Medassist, and Safe Alliance Inc. The foundation also supports clinical workforce and access initiatives. It gave $24,000 to Nth Dimensions in Chicago for community outreach, and its active programs include research and education grants and scholarships, cancer care funding, heart and vascular campaign support, and pediatrics program funding.

Highly concentrated giving: a very large share of assets goes to the primary hospital system (multiple large grants to Presbyterian Hospital and Novant), supplemented by numerous smaller, repeat and one-off community health and social-service grants. Mix of multi-grant core institutional support and modest discretionary community outreach awards.
Notable grantees: The Presbyterian Hospital, Novant Medical Group / Novant Health, Charlotte Community Health Clinic, HopeWay Foundation, Care Ring
Typical grant size sits at $25,000 at the 25th percentile, $67,083 at the median, and $178,726 at the 75th percentile, which reflects a split between large institutional awards and a smaller layer of community grants. The recent record shows recurring support to the same health-system recipients across multiple years, especially The Presbyterian Hospital, Novant Medical Group Inc, Novant Health Inc., and Presbyterian Medical Care Corp. That repeated pattern suggests ongoing operating and system support rather than one-time-only project funding.
