The McLeod Foundation was established in 1986 as an independent not for profit tax exempt charitable organization whose mission is to generate philanthropic and community support to perpetuate medical excellence at McLeod Health.  Thanks to the generosity of this region, the Foundation has raised more than $30 million and has provided  support for hundreds of programs at McLeod Health.  These programs include support for  McLeod Children's Hospital, The Guest House at McLeod, McLeod Hospice Services,  McLeod Cancer Center for Treatment and Research, McLeod Heart and Vascular Institute and McLeod Diabetes Services just to name a few.  Simply put the Foundation funds better health for thousands of families throughout Northeastern South Carolina and Southeastern North Carolina.

Separately chartered, the McLeod Foundation is governed by a voluntary Board of Trustees.  Gifts to the McLeod Foundation are tax-deductible to the full extend allowed by law and 100% of every gift received goes directly to the area it is designated.

The work done by the McLeod Foundation goes beyond the hospital walls and reaches straight into the heart of the community.
