Priorities

As the community foundation for the Tri-Cities region of Virginia, John Randolph Foundation awards grants from our health legacy fund (created from the sale of John Randolph Hospital in 1995) as well as donor-initiated funds for a wide variety of charitable causes. We embrace the idea that health is not just the absence of disease – it’s a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being. We recognize the many factors influencing the health of individuals and communities, and we prioritize funding projects that address:

  • Access to healthcare (including medical, dental, medication assistance, and health screenings)
  • Health and wellness (initiatives that aim to prevent disease, promote healthy eating and active living, or increase quality of life)
  • Education
  • Food insecurity
  • Workforce development
  • Mental health
  • Addiction recovery and prevention
  • Home insecurity
