About Rockbridge Community Health Foundation

A defining feature of Rockbridge Community Health Foundation is its repeated support for Carilion Clinic in Lexington, with three of the largest recent grants showing the same recipient across 2023, 2024, and 2025. That pattern sits alongside a broader mission centered on improving the health, well-being, and health education of residents in the Rockbridge County, Buena Vista, and Lexington service area tied to Carilion Rockbridge Community Hospital. The foundation’s active programs point to a mix of annual grants and multi-year new-program support, including funding for nonprofit and faith-based initiatives and for applicants addressing priorities from the Rockbridge Community Health Needs Assessment. Its stated focus areas include community health, mental health, health education, aging services, substance use recovery, food security, youth services, and transportation access. The grantmaking approach also emphasizes organizational growth and service expansion, with support types that include general operating support, capital and equipment grants, and expansion funding. In practice, that means the foundation is not limited to one service lane; it backs hospital-related community health work as well as local organizations delivering health and related social services in the Rockbridge region.
