Mission & Focus Areas
The foundation’s mission is “to collaboratively engage the Greater High Point community to transform upstream social influences that impact health and well-being.”
Its website identifies five focus areas: Neighborhood Conditions & Built Environment; Healthcare Access & Quality; Social & Community Context; Economic Stability; and Education Access & Quality. The foundation describes its Impact Grants as supporting projects that address long-standing health issues, non-medical factors, and disparities, with an emphasis on lasting, measurable improvement and collaborative approaches.
The foundation’s website says it makes grants to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations and public agencies, including state and local governments. New or emerging organizations without 501(c)(3) status may apply through a tax-exempt fiscal sponsor. It does not fund individuals or for-profit organizations.
Its 2025 grantees illustrate the range of organizations it supports. Resilience High Point, which received $137,000, describes its mission as encouraging public, private, and nonprofit collaboration to help residents thrive. High Point Discovered, which received $107,600, describes itself as a media group that showcases the city and elevates community voices. Wake Forest University Health Sciences, which received $100,000, describes itself as part of an academic medical center and learning health system. Other 2025 grantees included organizations whose stated missions concern food-bank support, financial wellness and sustainable homeownership, early childhood and family services, and furnishing homes for people facing hardship.
