Our mission is to improve the health and well-being of the people in our communities.
A defining feature of The Health Foundation Inc is how closely it ties grantmaking to local health needs in Wilkes County, from playground construction and school-based support to peer recovery services, food access, and health workforce scholarships. In 2025, its largest recent award went to the Town of Wilkesboro for playground construction, and other sizable grants supported Wilkes Recovery Revolution Inc for peer support services and Wilkes County Health Department for behavioral health access for middle school and high school students. The foundation also backs preventive health and community well-being through projects such as fresh food vouchers, diabetes prevention, and teeth-in-need support. Its grant portfolio includes operating support, matching grants, capital projects, and scholarship awards, with many recent grants directed to county agencies, schools, and community nonprofits. That mix shows a funder working across immediate services and longer-term capacity building, while staying centered on health, healthy eating, active living, mental health, access to care, scholarship support, and opioid response in the same local geography.
Health and behavioral health appear throughout the foundation’s recent awards. Wilkes County Health Department received $88,000 in 2025 for increased access to behavioral health care for middle school and high school students, plus matching support for annual operating needs and diabetes prevention funding. Food security is another clear priority: Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC received $40,000 in 2025 for Farm Fresh Nourish to connect local farmers and food pantries, and Samaritan Kitchen of Wilkes received $13,000 for school backpack meals. The foundation also funds youth and family supports. Wilkes Community Partnership for Children received $45,750 for parenting classes, while Child Abuse Prevention Team received $12,500 as a matching grant tied to annual operating support and a health mini grant. Preventive care shows up in grants to Wilkes Dental Consortium Inc. for equipment and Teeth in Need.
Typical awards cluster tightly around $10,000 to $22,920, with a p25 of $10,000, a median of $10,000, and a p75 of $22,920. The recent record shows a mix of one-time project awards, matching grants for annual operating support, and recurring scholarship-style support, including several organizations that appear in multiple years such as Wilkes Recovery Revolution, Wilkes County Health Department, Wilkes County Schools, Hospitality House, and Wilkes Dental Consortium Inc. The foundation is a public charity and makes no program-related investments. It also accepts unsolicited applications in several active programs, including Community Support Fund, Mini Grants, Healthy Futures, Challenge Grants, and scholarship programs.
