The mission of the Foundation is to strive to maintain the success of the hospice tradition in Cleveland County by supporting efforts to help people lead healthy, productive lives and experience peaceful, dignified deaths. We seek to ensure that all people – especially those with the fewest resources – have access to the opportunities they need to succeed in school and in life. The Foundation operates exclusively for charitable and educational purposes and will carry out this purpose in Cleveland County and nearby communities. The Foundation’s focus is to close the gap of inequality in our community through the distribution of financial grants to local nonprofits.

We value stewardship, integrity, compassion, respect, service, and leadership. For more information on Foundation grant opportunities, please contact [email protected] or 704-751-1533.
