The Bertha Foundation is a place-based funder focused on strengthening health care, community infrastructure, and cultural assets in Graham, TX and nearby communities. Its largest gifts support the local hospital system (capital improvements, clinical equipment, and nursing scholarships), while substantial grants also flow to community foundations, disability services, and the local museum. The foundation favors practical, project-driven investments that build local capacity and services rather than broad national causes.
Bertha Foundation’s largest recent gifts point to a local health system strategy in Graham, TX: a $258,465 grant to Graham Regional Medical Center supported nursing scholarships, the Health Fair, and capital improvements, and a $200,000 grant to Graham Hospital Foundation funded a new monitoring system. Those awards sit alongside repeated support for nearby institutions that anchor daily life in the community, including disability services, the local museum, and the city library. The pattern is place-based and practical, with funding directed to facilities, equipment, scholarships, and operating needs that keep local services running. The foundation also backs community organizations that extend beyond health care. It gave $164,000 to North Texas Community Foundation for charitable endeavors and projects in and around Graham, and $100,000 to Graham Friends of The Arc for Hero House. Smaller grants show the same local orientation through support for the Old Post Office Museum Art Center’s Archivist Project, the Graham Chamber of Commerce, and Friends Of The Library Graham Texas. Across these awards, Bertha Foundation appears focused on institutions that serve Graham residents directly and on investments that preserve and strengthen the town’s civic infrastructure.
Health care is the clearest funding theme. Bertha Foundation gave $113,500 to Graham Regional Medical Center for nursing scholarships, the Health Fair, and equipment purchases, and it also supported Graham Hospital Foundation with funds for a new monitoring system. Those awards show a mix of workforce support, community health promotion, and clinical infrastructure. The foundation also funds disability services and housing support. In 2025, it granted $100,000 to Graham Friends of The Arc for Hero House, indicating a sizable commitment to a local service provider. Cultural and educational support is another thread. Bertha Foundation provided $50,000 to Old Post Office Museum Art Center for the Archivist Project and $9,000 to Friends Of The Library Graham Texas for operating expenses tied to Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. These grants connect preservation, literacy, and local access to public resources.
Grant sizes range from small operating gifts to six-figure project support. In the recent sample, the middle grant is $2,979, with a lower quartile of $1,091 and an upper quartile of $27,500. That spread suggests a core of modest local operating awards alongside a few much larger capital and program grants. The awards recur across years for several recipients, including Graham Regional Medical Center, Graham Concert Assn, Rotary Club of Graham Texas, and City of Graham, which points to sustained relationships rather than one-off funding. Bertha Foundation is a private, place-based funder and does not fund individuals or program-related investments.
