The Northern Piedmont Community Foundation (NPCF) facilitated gifts of over $106,000 for the Fauquier Free Clinic's building renovation and new program costs.

The community responded overwhelmingly to NPCF's appeal which enabled the Foundation to make a direct contribution of $11,925 to the Fauquier Free Clinic. The money raised was used to support improvements and mechanical upgrades to the Clinic's new building. Simple but critically important items such as waiting room chairs, exam stools and thermometers were also purchased with the gift.

In addition to NPCF's donation, a compassionate anonymous donor was inspired to contribute $95,000 directly to the Fauquier Free Clinic for medicinal tracking software, start-up costs for the new pharmacy and an additional clinician to care for the clinic's patients. This anonymous donation allowed the Fauquier Free Clinic to greatly enhance its services.

At the July 30 Grand Opening Celebration, Rob Marino, Executive Director of the Fauquier Free Clinic expressed his gratitude to everyone involved. "This building represents a ton of work by a lot of nice people and I'd like to thank all of those who made this happen."

"Thank you to all the generous individuals and businesses who contributed to NPCF's appeal for the Fauquier Free Clinic. Together we can make a difference. Your donations will be remembered by NPCF's listing on the Free Clinic's donor wall," said Elizabeth Henrickson, Executive Director of the Northern Piedmont Community Foundation.

The Northern Piedmont Community Foundation is a public charity established in 2001 serving Culpeper, Fauquier and Rappahannock Counties.
