Endowment

The Mecklenburg Medical Alliance and Endowment’s mission is to advocate for a healthier Charlotte-Mecklenburg community. Since 1982 when we established our non-profit 501 (c) (3), we have granted over $1,000,000 to projects that improve the health and quality of life of the people in our community. MMAE has supported many organizations committed to building a healthier Charlotte-Mecklenburg; click here to see a list of previous recipients.
