About University Health Services
University Health Services Inc. focuses almost exclusively on sustaining community-based primary care clinics and neighborhood health programs in and around Augusta, GA, often providing operating or ‘clinic financial support’ grants. The foundation favors repeat, multi-award support for a small set of local providers — including faith-based ministries and community development groups — while making occasional small gifts to civic and cultural organizations.

Giving Approach
Concentrated, repeat funding: a small number of mid-to-large unrestricted operating grants are made repeatedly to core clinic partners (three grants each to top recipients), emphasizing sustainability of local clinic operations rather than one-off project grants.
About University Health Services
University Health Services Inc. centers its giving on clinic financial support for a small circle of Augusta-area providers, with Christ Community Health Services receiving the largest recent award at $220,936 in 2023 and another $150,000 in 2024. That pattern points to a funder built around sustaining day-to-day care rather than one-time special projects. The grants also show repeated support for Coordinated Health Services, Harrisburg Family Health Care, Neighborhood Improvement Project, and Beulah Grove Community Resource, all in Augusta, GA. Across those recipients, the foundation appears to favor organizational support for community-based primary care and neighborhood health services, especially where clinics serve local patients directly. Most of the recent awards are substantial enough to matter operationally, yet the list also includes smaller program-support gifts, which suggests a mix of clinic stabilization and targeted local support. The giving is tightly clustered around Augusta and nearby communities, with recipient organizations rooted in the same service area and a strong emphasis on health access, clinic continuity, and neighborhood-based care delivery.
What University Health Services Funds
Community primary care clinic operations are the clearest theme. In 2024, University Health Services Inc. gave $120,000 to Harrisburg Family Health Care and $120,000 to Coordinated Health Services, both for clinic financial support. The same pattern appears in 2023 with $90,000 to Harrisburg Family Health Care and $60,000 to Coordinated Health Services. Neighborhood health and community improvement groups also receive support when they run clinic-related services. Neighborhood Improvement Project received $90,000 in 2024 and $45,000 in 2023, both for clinic financial support. Beulah Grove Community Resource was funded at $43,072 in 2023 and $20,000 in 2024 for the same purpose. Faith-based health ministries are part of the portfolio as well. Miracle Making Ministries received $20,000 in 2023 and $20,000 in 2024, plus another $10,000 in 2023, all for clinic financial support.
How University Health Services Gives
Typical awards sit in the $20,000 to $90,000 range, with a median grant of $60,000, a 25th percentile of $20,000, and a 75th percentile of $90,000. The grant list shows repeated support to the same organizations across 2023 and 2024, indicating a recurring relationship rather than isolated gifts. The structure is consistent with operating support and direct service funding, especially clinic financial support. Active program language also shows an unsolicited community impact grant program for local not-for-profit organizations, alongside the foundation’s broader clinic-focused giving.
