The Charles E. Hayworth Jr. Foundation concentrates its support in the High Point / greater Piedmont region, funding community-enhancing projects that serve children and local civic life. Major gifts favor youth recreation and enrichment (children's museum, Boys & Girls Club), community infrastructure and preservation (pool repairs, cemetery refurbishing, local museums), and general operating support for neighborhood social services and higher education institutions. The foundation tends to back a small set of recurring local partners with sizable grants rather than a large number of scattered, small awards.
A defining feature of the Charles E Hayworth Jr Foundation is its repeated support for the Nido & Mariana Qubein Children's Museum through High Point Community Foundation, with grants of $167,500 in 2023, 2024, and 2025. That pattern sits alongside other large local commitments that point to a foundation centered on children, youth services, and community-serving institutions in the High Point area. The foundation’s recent giving also includes substantial support for Family Service of the Piedmont, High Point University, and Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Hp, showing a mix of recreation, social services, and higher education. Beyond those larger awards, the grant list shows steady attention to neighborhood organizations and civic projects, including mentoring groups, preservation work, and child-focused feeding support. The overall picture is of a local funder that backs a small network of organizations with multi-year support and uses discretionary, operating, and project grants to strengthen places and services used by children, students, and community residents.
Children’s informal education is a clear thread in the foundation’s grantmaking. Through High Point Community Foundation, it gave $167,500 in 2025 to support the Nido & Mariana Qubein Children's Museum, matching the same amount in 2024 and 2023. Youth development and recreation also receive meaningful support: Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Hp received $116,000 in 2024 for pool repair and replastering, after a $250,000 general-support grant in 2023. Social services appear in the awards to Family Service of the Piedmont Inc., including $150,000 in 2025 for general operating support and $50,000 in 2024 for the High Point Center for Child Wellness. The foundation also backed child-focused hunger relief through Wesley Memorial, which received $5,000 in both 2024 and 2025 for Feeding Lisa's Kids.
The grant-size pattern is polarized: p25 is $500, median grant size is $7,500, and p75 is $50,000, indicating a mix of small discretionary awards and larger institutional grants. The recent list also shows repeated support to the same organizations across multiple years, especially in High Point and nearby communities, which suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-time grants. The foundation is a private foundation and does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Recent awards include general support, discretionary grants, capital work, and project-specific funding.
