Mission:
The Buncombe County Public Health Foundation, Inc. is a private, non-profit
foundation established to achieve specific objectives:

- Developing a countywide school health program.
- Addressing those public health needs which cannot be met by established organizations.
- Funding innovative public health initiatives, which do not have established funding sources.
- Promoting collaboration among private and public organizations to achieve public health goals. Collaboration efforts include contracting with local providers and organizations rather than creating new programs.
- Seeking only grants which are not germane to the financial viability of local private, non-profit organizations.
- Receiving donations, grants, endowments and contributions from individuals, organizations, foundations or other entities. The Foundation will make available informational literature about the organization, including how to make contributions.
