To encourage, support, and invest in quality programming and organizations that measurably improve health in the Triangle North region.
Triangle North Healthcare Foundation Inc. backs health improvement across a four-county North Carolina region through scholarships, clinical access, recovery, food support, and youth-focused programming. One of its largest recent awards went to Henderson Family YMCA for general operations support plus a bus and fitness equipment, reflecting a mix of operating and programmatic funding. Another major grant supported Turning Point Community Development Corporation for an education center, workforce development, food distribution, and summer learning programs. The foundation also funds local health infrastructure and care access: Granville-vance Public Health received support for cardiac health and dental programming, while NC MedAssist was funded for a health equity program serving Granville, Franklin, Vance, and Warren county residents. The grant record shows a strong emphasis on measurable health outcomes in the Triangle North region, with awards reaching schools, public health agencies, youth-serving nonprofits, and community organizations. It also supports scholarships for North Carolina students pursuing health-related education, including county-based scholarship programs with set award amounts. Across the recent grants, the foundation’s work touches oral health, mental health, substance use recovery, food security, and child well-being.
In community health and access to care, Triangle North Healthcare Foundation Inc. gave $87,000 to Granville-vance Public Health for the Frances Powers cardiac health program and the CFFD - Tooth Club dental program, and later provided $50,000 for the Tooth Club again. For medication access and broader health equity, NC MedAssist received $50,000 for a program serving Granville, Franklin, Vance, and Warren county residents. Youth development also appears repeatedly. Boys and Girls Clubs of North North Central NC received $112,500 for Triple Play health and wellness programming, and Vance County Schools received $78,750 for an after-school fitness program and community care center. The foundation has also funded Turning Point Community Development Corporation for an education center, workforce development, food distribution, and summer learning programs. Behavioral health and recovery are another clear strand. Triangle Residential Options for Substance Abusers Inc received $80,000 for a long-term substance abuse recovery program, while Shepherd Youth Ranch received $40,000 for mental health therapy utilizing horses for at-risk and underprivileged youth.
