Florida Association of Free and Charitable Clinics

What Florida Association of Free and Charitable Clinics does

The Florida Association of Free and Charitable Clinics (FAFCC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit membership association founded in 2013 and headquartered in Palm Coast, Florida. It is the only statewide organization dedicated to representing and supporting Florida's network of 109 free and charitable clinics, which together provide medical, dental, behavioral health, vision, and pharmacy services across all 67 Florida counties. FAFCC administers an exclusive contract with the Florida Department of Health to disburse $9.5 million in recurring state funds plus $3 million in non-recurring dental and behavioral health expansion funding, passing the capital through to member clinics as operating grants. In its most recent reporting cycle, member clinics served 242,573 patients across 574,518 visits, delivered $242 million in care value, and operated with a volunteer base of 12,516 credentialed healthcare professionals.

FAFCC's core products and services are organized around four pillars: (1) grant administration via the Salesforce-based Grant Portal, (2) advocacy and policy engagement culminating in the annual Day at the Capitol in Tallahassee, (3) educational programming through the Annual Conference, regional roundtables, and the newly introduced Impact Summit, and (4) quality and data initiatives including the Quality Standards Certification Program and the ER Diversion Data Project, which tracks a 42% reduction in ER visits and an estimated $295 million in avoided hospital costs annually. The association uses Novi AMS for member management and website operations, and is affiliated with the National Association of Free and Charitable Clinics (NAFC), with FAFCC's CEO serving as Immediate Past Chair of the NAFC Board of Directors.

The business model combines non-dues revenue streams: tiered annual membership dues from member clinics (billed by January 31), pass-through state grant administration, donations (suggested $250 one-time, $150 monthly recurring, and a $5,000 Investor Sponsor tier), conference and Impact Summit registration fees (non-member full conference $450, exhibitor $2,000), and corporate sponsorships (Platinum and Silver tiers). Customer segments are bifurcated between member clinics (the operational customer base) and uninsured/underserved Floridians (the end beneficiaries), with legislative and donor stakeholders constituting a third audience for advocacy and fundraising.
