The Yost Elizabeth B Tr UWO focuses its resources on a small set of community institutions in Anson County—supporting local social services, health care, K–12 school athletics, youth sports infrastructure, and the county arts council. Their grants mix general operating support for frontline nonprofits (crisis ministry, community health) with targeted capital and facilities funding for schools, athletic groups, and arts infrastructure. Giving appears locally concentrated and relationship-driven rather than broadly distributed geographically.
Yost Elizabeth B Tr Uwo gives through a small, locally concentrated pattern of support centered on Anson County institutions in North Carolina. The largest recent grant in the record is $60,000 to Anson High School for an athletic facility project, which fits a broader mix of school athletics, youth sports infrastructure, community health, emergency social services, and arts facilities. Across the recent grants list, the foundation also backed Healthquest with repeated general operating grants and supported Anson Crisis Ministry with multiple operating awards, showing a strong preference for sustaining local organizations already embedded in the community. The grant record also includes capital and facility-oriented awards for the Anson County Arts Council, Anson Athletic Youth Association, and other county-based organizations. Rather than spreading resources broadly, the foundation appears to work with a small set of repeat recipients in Wadesboro, Polkton, and Monroe. Its recent giving combines operating support and project-specific funding, with awards ranging from modest general operating grants to larger targeted commitments for facilities, equipment, and infrastructure.
Local health and emergency services are a clear part of the foundation’s portfolio. Healthquest received $32,000 in 2025, $29,000 in 2023, and $23,000 in 2024 for general operating support, while Anson Crisis Ministry received $30,000 in 2024, $30,000 in 2025, and $25,000 in 2023 for general operating support. The foundation also funds school-based athletics. Anson High School received $24,000 in 2024 for a girls wrestling room phase III project, following a $60,000 athletic facility grant in 2023, and another $7,500 in 2025 for general operating support. Arts and enrichment organizations are another recurring theme: Anson County Arts Council received $19,548 in 2024 to replace heating and air, $10,000 in 2023 for theatre renovation, and $7,500 in 2025 for general operating support. Youth and education programming also appears through Rotary Planetarium & Science Center’s $7,500 Summer of STEM project.
Typical award size is modest, with a p25 of $3,000, a median of $7,500, and a p75 of $19,548. The record shows repeated support to the same organizations across 2023, 2024, and 2025, especially in health, crisis services, and arts. Grants are not made to individuals, and the foundation does not make program-related investments. The pattern points to direct institutional support rather than a broad open-call model, with a mix of operating grants and project-specific awards.

Concentrated, mid- to large-sized grants to a handful of repeat grantees in one county; mix of unrestricted/general operating support and capital/facilities grants rather than many small one-off gifts.
Notable grantees: Anson Crisis Ministry, Anson High School, HealthQuest, Anson Athletic Youth Association, Anson County Arts Council
Giving is overwhelmingly in the United States, with all 33 recent grants landing there. The recipient map is concentrated in North Carolina, with Wadesboro appearing repeatedly and Polkton and Monroe also represented. Wadesboro is the clearest hub, receiving awards for schools, arts, housing, historical preservation, cooperative extension, and youth programming. Polkton appears through youth sports and learning-center grants, while Monroe appears in the health clinic grants.
The recent record centers on local institutions in Anson County: health and emergency services, school athletics, youth sports groups, arts organizations, housing nonprofits, and historical or educational programs. Examples in the grants list include health clinic operating support, athletic facility funding, theatre renovation, and general operating grants for county-based nonprofits.
Both appear in the record. Several recipients received general operating support, including health, crisis ministry, arts, and youth organizations, while other awards were tied to facilities, equipment, renovations, and infrastructure such as an athletic facility project, heating and air replacement, and concession or wiring work.
The typical grant size is $3,000 at the 25th percentile, $7,500 at the median, and $19,548 at the 75th percentile. The recent list includes both smaller operating awards and larger project grants, including a $60,000 award for an athletic facility project.
Yes. Several organizations appear across multiple years, including Healthquest, Anson Crisis Ministry, Anson County Arts Council, Anson Athletic Youth Association, Anson County Homes of Hope, and Anson County Cooperative Extension. That pattern suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards.
The recent grants are all in the United States, and North Carolina is the main state by grant count. Wadesboro appears most often, with additional recipients in Polkton and Monroe. The record shows no grants to recipients in Florida, despite the foundation’s headquarters being in Orlando.
