what we fund

Dogwood Health Trust wants to help create a Western North Carolina where every generation can live, learn, earn and thrive, with dignity and opportunity for all – no exceptions. To do this, we focus a large portion of our community investments on creating equitable outcomes within four key strategic priorities that intertwine to significantly influence overall wellbeing.

 In addition, we support work that weaves through all of the areas above, such as community equity, capacity building, leveraging resources and policy & advocacy. We work shoulder-to-shoulder with local, state and federal partners and communities toward equitable access to opportunities, resources and support for everyone. The bulk of our community investments are grants to qualified partners, and we occasionally use impact investments and other tools when appropriate.
