Virginia Association of Free and Charitable Clinics

About Virginia Association of Free and Charitable Clinics

Virginia Association of Free and Charitable Clinics Inc. concentrates its grantmaking on keeping free clinic systems operating across Virginia, with awards that routinely support clinic service delivery rather than isolated projects. The largest recent grant in the file went to Dr Terry Sinclair Health Center in Winchester for free clinic support, and other sizable awards reached Crossover Healthcare Ministry in Richmond and Charlottesville Free Clinic. Across the recent grants list, the foundation repeatedly backs community-based providers that serve uninsured and low-income patients through primary care, medications, and related support services. That pattern shows up in both urban and regional settings. Virginia Association of Free and Charitable Clinics Inc. has funded clinics in Richmond, Arlington, Roanoke, Lynchburg, Fredericksburg, Wise, and other parts of the state, suggesting a statewide safety-net role rather than a narrow local neighborhood focus. Its recipients include independent free clinics, health ministries, and clinic networks that appear to be part of the state’s charitable care infrastructure. The grant titles consistently use the same purpose language—free clinic support—pointing to operating support for ongoing patient care and clinic capacity.

Medication assistance is another visible part of the work. In Lynchburg, Free Clinic of Central Virginia received $431,680, while Lloyd F Moss Free Clinic in Fredericksburg received $398,227; both were funded for free clinic support, which aligns with the foundation’s emphasis on clinic operations and patient care delivery. The funder also supports faith-linked and community ministry models. Crossover Healthcare Ministry in Richmond received $485,247, and Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Arlington Mother of Mercy Free Medical in Manassas received $332,182, both for free clinic support. These grants show a preference for providers embedded in local safety-net care.
