The Giving Hand Foundation

HELPING OTHERS IS A BIG PART OF WHAT WE DO..........

The Giving Hand Foundation is dedicated to promoting the development of dental and medical clinics which provide free or reduced fee services to needy individuals in North Carolina and selected Third World Countries. The Giving hand Foundation focuses its efforts on individuals, churches, and civic organizations that rely strongly on volunteer efforts. The Foundation's goal is that its support and guidance will make a significant impact on the establishment of long-term medical and dental clinics. These clinics will operate without regard to race, religion, or political views. They can be reached at (336) 463-2073

The Giving Hand Foundation funds three primary areas:
  • Start-up of new medical and dental clinics primarily in churches, nursing homes, orphanages, and other facilities which have a tradition of service to the needy.
  • Provision of educational assistance grants to promising health care students in need of financial aid.
    Scholarship Application
  • Funding of world mission efforts with an emphasis on providing supplies and assisting with travel and support for volunteers who wish to participate in such work.
The Foundation is particularly interested in establishing the leadership and infrastructure needed for the clinics to become self supporting and on-going sources of benefit to the communities which they serve.
