Mission & Focus Areas
The Foundation says it aims to improve the lives of people who live and work in communities served by Nexion Health facilities. Its stated charitable focus is supporting nonprofit organizations and charities that serve elderly and disabled people. Its programs also support the educational, social, civic, and humanitarian goals of eligible Nexion Associates and their immediate family members.
The Foundation’s 2024 grants included support for organizations with varied missions. Concordia University Texas, which received $1,500, describes its mission as preparing students for lives of service through a liberal arts education. Bossier Parish Community College’s foundation, also a $1,500 recipient, says it raises money for student scholarships, faculty and staff development, and athletic programs.
Grantmaking
In 2024, the Foundation made 70 grants totaling $143,049. Grant amounts ranged from $500 to $5,000, with a median of $1,500. The listed grants include emergency-relief awards, several of which were $5,000. Other examples include $4,265 to an individual recipient for emergency relief and $3,133 to 825 Wooden Creek LLC for emergency relief. Concordia University Texas and Bossier Parish Community College each received $1,500.
The Foundation’s website describes One 4 One Giving, which matches eligible Associates’ donations to one qualified charitable organization per year, and Volunteer Plus, which provides assistance to eligible charities where Associates volunteer. Volunteer Plus contributions are capped at $250 per organization annually, with no more than two organizations per eligible Associate. Both programs are subject to Board discretion. The website says applications for these programs must be submitted online with supporting documentation, including a 501(c)(3) determination letter; One 4 One applications also require proof of the Associate’s contribution, and Volunteer Plus applications require proof of volunteer service.
Emergency Relief provides assistance to eligible Associates and their dependents for losses resulting from widespread natural disasters or other major, unforeseeable life circumstances. The website says applications are reviewed by the Board with supporting documentation. Scholarship programs are for eligible Associates and, in the Barbara Hair program, eligible Associates’ children; these awards support education rather than outside organizations. The website says applications and awards are subject to Foundation guidelines and Board review, and that it may limit assistance and annual contributions.
