To promote Moore County Hospital District by improving community health care through fundraising, education, and support.
Moore County Health Foundation directs nearly all of its giving through support for Moore County Hospital District, with a 2025 grant of $1,527,933 for donations to MCHD and another $380,000 for patient expenses. That pattern points to a funder built around local hospital support rather than broad, multi-state grantmaking. The foundation’s stated purpose is to promote Moore County Hospital District by improving community health care through fundraising, education, and support. Its portfolio centers on rural health infrastructure and access: scholarships for Moore County residents in nursing and allied health programs, capital support for clinic and equipment needs, and help with direct patient costs. The scholarship programs are tied to local training pathways at Amarillo College and Frank Phillips College, showing an emphasis on building the healthcare workforce close to home. Beyond hospital support, the foundation also uses event-based fundraising to underwrite community priorities such as rural clinic construction, ambulance purchases, and equipment projects. The result is a grantmaker that combines direct institutional support with workforce development and practical health-system needs in Moore County.
Workforce development is one of the foundation’s clearest themes. It runs multiple scholarship programs for Moore County residents in nursing and allied health fields, including RN, LVN, PTA, OTA, SLPA, MA, lab tech, imaging tech, and surgical tech tracks. Those awards are semester-based and can cover up to one semester of tuition. Capital and equipment support is another major area. The foundation’s fundraising activities are tied to rural health clinic construction, portable intubation systems, ambulance purchases, and other equipment needs that strengthen local care delivery. It also supports direct health services for specific patient groups. Its topic list includes dialysis and nephrology services, behavioral health services, and senior nutrition programs, all aligned with its health-care mission in Moore County. Community health and wellness appears in its event and campaign giving as well, especially through Panhandle Gives, which supports multiple Moore County healthcare projects.
The foundation’s typical grant size is large: the 25th percentile is $666,983, the median is $953,966, and the 75th percentile is $1,240,950. That distribution suggests a grantmaker that often operates at substantial scale rather than through many small awards. The recent record also shows repetition at the same recipient over time, with two 2025 grants to Moore County Hospital District. Its giving is local, and 100% of grants go to recipients in Texas. The foundation is not described as making program-related investments, and it does not fund individuals. Unsolicited applications are accepted for the scholarship and event programs listed, including scholarship and fundraising activities tied to Moore County health priorities.
