SHARE Foundation

What SHARE Foundation does

SHARE Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public nonprofit operating foundation founded in February 1996 and headquartered at 815 Thompson Ave, Suite B, El Dorado, Arkansas, with additional locations at 2305 Champagnolle Rd and 403 West Oak St. The organization runs a portfolio of community health agencies: Father Bob Allen Charitable Clinic (a free primary care clinic for uninsured adults ages 18-64 in Union County, charging an $8 facility fee on a sliding scale); eXtreme Prevention, which encompasses eXtreme Youth Programs, the ACTIVE Coalition, and Recovery Services targeting youth and adult substance misuse and mental wellness; HealthWorks Fitness Center; the SHARE Scholarships program (with service-commitment requirements that channel graduates into SARH); and the SARH Foundation fundraising arm. The foundation was created from the partnership between Medical Center of South Arkansas and Triad (now Community Health Systems) and became independent in 2009 after selling its 50% interest in MCSA to CHS.

Revenue is sourced primarily from individual, business, and organizational donations, federal grants (CDC Drug-Free Communities $125K annually 2021-2026; SAMHSA SPFPFS-C $125K annually 2024-2029), partnership revenue channeled to SARH equipment campaigns (e.g., 3D Mammography), and an annual First Financial Bank benefit golf tournament (cumulative proceeds over $1.14M). The foundation records 101-250 employees and has cumulatively distributed $1,128,938 in scholarships to 259 students and over $8.25M in grants to 92 nonprofits (1997-2021). Underlying technology is conventional third-party SaaS: athenahealth patient portal at FBACC, SurveyMonkey for community needs assessments, Emma/E2MA for newsletter distribution, and Zoom-mediated medical interpretation via Emory University's VMIS program. No proprietary technology platforms or AI/ML systems are disclosed.

Recent operating posture reflects portfolio rationalization: closures of Palliative Care of South Arkansas (2022) and John R. Williamson Hospice House (2023, repurposed as NewHaven substance use treatment facility), transfers of Life Touch Hospice outpatient services to Arkansas Hospice and Chaplaincy Services to MCSA, and wind-down of the community grants program and Violence Intervention Program by 2023-2024. The foundation is led by President and CEO Britney Snell (promoted from CFO in August 2025), Chairman Steve Cameron, Director of Operations Warren West, with programs directed by Holly Monroe (FBACC), Amy Sturdivant (SARH Foundation/eXtreme Prevention), Jill Weinischke (Community Impact), Amanda Cooley (PR), and Debbie Watts (VP Community Impact).
