Virginia Garcia Memorial Foundation

What Virginia Garcia Memorial Foundation does

Virginia Garcia Memorial Foundation is a nonprofit charitable foundation headquartered in Aloha, Oregon (Tax ID 91-2077840), whose stated mission is to provide enduring financial, relational, and community support for the Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Center — a Federally Qualified Health Center serving Washington and Yamhill counties with a special emphasis on migrant and seasonal farmworkers and others facing barriers to healthcare access. The Foundation's core function is fundraising and donor cultivation rather than direct clinical delivery; it operates as a small organization of approximately 10 employees under Executive Director Lorena Carrillo and Board Chair Michael Willes.

The Foundation's programmatic surface centers on the Mobile Health Program, which delivers clinical services directly to patients in fields, parking lots, and community spaces, supplemented by the new Low Acuity Transitional Services (LATS) team, a Patient Support Flex Fund, and a physical therapy pilot with George Fox University at the Newberg Wellness Center. Underlying operational infrastructure consists of a Squarespace-hosted public site, a Blackbaud-powered donation flow, monthly newsletters (The Voice), social channels on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube, and recurring fundraising events including the ¡Prospera! gala, Strides for Health 5K, and Music on the Patio. No AI, APIs, or proprietary software products are described.

Revenue is generated entirely through charitable giving with no commercial pricing. Streams include individual monthly and one-time donations, corporate and community sponsorships, planned giving (wills, trusts, insurance, IRAs), stock and IRA gifts, donor-advised fund grants routed through Fidelity, Schwab, Vanguard, Bank of America, and Oregon Community Foundation, and grants from foundations and government agencies. The most prominently disclosed 2025 inflow was $1.2 million raised to strengthen and expand the Mobile Health Program as part of the organization's 50th anniversary. The Foundation holds Charity Navigator's four-star rating and GuideStar Gold level transparency designation, placing it in the top decile of US nonprofits on those metrics.
