What is Carolinas HealthCare Foundation?

Carolinas HealthCare Foundation serves as the primary point of contact for individual, foundation and corporate charitable support of Carolinas HealthCare System (a self-supporting, public, not-for-profit healthcare provider.) The Foundation is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) charitable organization.

Why should I contribute to Carolinas HealthCare Foundation?

Financial contributions help provide the resources necessary to maintain the highest level of excellence and patient support in our medical programs and services. Your individual acts of generosity help improve the quality of life for people in our region today and into the future.

Philanthropic gifts have always been important to Carolinas HealthCare System. Since its beginnings in 1939, gracious donors have significantly contributed to the growth and success of CHS programs and services.

How will my contribution be used?

Many donors elect to designate a hospital service or program as the recipient of their gift – to a fund that supports ovarian cancer research, or to cardiovascular rehabilitation. A donor may also choose to make an unrestricted gift to the Foundation. At the discretion of the Board of Directors, these gifts are designated for areas where needs are most critical and urgent.

Few conditions are as frustrating as nervous-system and muscular disorders, which can deprive people of their ability to think clearly, control their movements and take care of themselves. The disorders also affect the lives of loved ones who care for those patients.

Fortunately, philanthropy is helping patients and their families in the Charlotte region by sponsoring research into better treatments and by establishing centers where patients with neuromuscular conditions can receive top care.

Donations also directly help improve the lives of patients by funding computers and eye-reader systems, which patients who are unable to speak can use to communicate; and home-health workers, who help patients adjust to life at home and provide a respite for family caregivers.

Contributions from generous donors are helping improve the lives of people who suffer from:

  • ALS (or Lou Gehrig’s disease). Philanthropy helped create and continues to support the Carolinas Neuromuscular ALS-MDA Center at Carolinas Medical Center, the Southeast’s foremost facility for the study and treatment of ALS and other neuromuscular diseases. The Center’s multi-disciplinary approach to patient care is a model for centers across the country.
  • Parkinson’s disease and other Movement Disorders.  Donors support  physical and speech therapy positions, patient counseling and support efforts, research programs and alliances with complimentary medicine providers at the Carolinas Center for Parkinson Disease and Movement Disorders.
  • Multiple sclerosis. Donations help advance clinical research collaborations and patient support programs of CMC’s Multiple Sclerosis Center.
  • Muscular dystrophy. Philanthropy created and supports groundbreaking research at the McColl-Lockwood Laboratory for Muscular Dystrophy Research focusing on Limb Girdle and Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Funding also supports international collaborations fostered through a bi-annual conference hosted by CMC.

You can help make life better for people with brain and spinal conditions, or spread awareness, or contribute to vital research. Here’s how:
