The Stevens Family Foundation concentrates its philanthropic support exclusively on local health services, making repeated grants to a single organization. All recorded giving (three grants totaling $75,000) went to Helping Hands Clinic, indicating a focused commitment to sustaining a community medical provider that likely serves uninsured or low-income residents in the Boone area. The foundation appears to prioritize direct operational or program support for that clinic rather than a diversified portfolio of causes.
Highly concentrated — few, repeat grants directed to a single local health provider rather than distributed grants across many organizations.
Helping Hands Clinic Inc
Stevens Family Foundation Inc has made its most consistent commitment to Helping Hands Clinic Inc in Lenoir, awarding $25,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025 for general support. That three-year pattern is the clearest window into how the foundation gives: it favors steady backing for local organizations rather than one-off, widely spread grants. The recent record also shows support for Caldwell County Yokefellow, Caldwell Arts Council, and Caldwell Community College Foundation, all in the same local network of Boone and Lenoir-area institutions. Across those grants, the foundation appears to back community services, arts, education, housing-related work, and health access, with general support repeatedly used as the funding purpose. The recipient list includes both direct service providers and community infrastructure groups, suggesting a preference for organizations that are rooted in Caldwell County and nearby Boone. The foundation’s grantmaking is small-to-mid sized by nonprofit standards, but its repeated awards indicate an ongoing relationship with a limited set of local grantees.
Health access is one of the clearest themes in the record. Stevens Family Foundation Inc gave $25,000 to Helping Hands Clinic Inc in Lenoir for general support in 2025, and also supported Caldwell Memorial Hospital Foundation with $10,000 in 2024 and again in 2025. Community relief and basic needs appear as another lane: Caldwell County Yokefellow received $21,000 in 2023 and $20,000 in both 2024 and 2025 for general support. Arts funding is also present, with $20,000 to Caldwell Arts Council in 2025 after $12,500 awards in 2023 and 2024. Education-related support shows up through Caldwell Community College Foundation, which received $15,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The pattern points to recurring local support across a compact group of organizations.
Typical grants cluster at modest sizes: the 25th percentile is $2,000, the median is $3,500, and the 75th percentile is $10,000. The recent-grants record shows repeated awards to the same organizations across multiple years, including several three-year and multi-year sequences, which indicates ongoing relationships rather than isolated one-time gifts. The foundation gives general support frequently, and its active programs describe an annual grant cycle. Those programs are open to valid 501(c)(3) organizations and accept unsolicited applications.
