The High Point Community Foundation is a catalyst for positive change that promotes philanthropy, administers an expanding grants program and serves as a trustworthy partner in responding to community needs. Strengthening a diverse, healthy, and productive community for both present and future generations.
A defining feature of High Point Community Foundation’s recent grantmaking is its steady support for organizations meeting basic needs and helping children and teens in High Point. In the 2025 record, D-Up received $34,715 to safeguard and enhance youth’s and women’s mental health, while C3 Community Collaboration for Children received $32,570 for capacity building for more collaboration. The foundation also backed Open Door Ministries with $36,000 for day center support in 2024 and Partners Ending Homelessness with $26,000 for street outreach in 2024. Scholarships are part of the portfolio as well, alongside grants tied to food access, housing stability, school support, and youth development. Named initiatives include the Heart of High Point fund, Students First grants, Women’s Fund grants, and housing-related investments, showing a mix of direct service support and program-specific giving. The recent record points to a local funder working through community-based organizations, schools, and donor-established scholarship programs to address immediate needs and longer-term opportunity in High Point and nearby Guilford County.
Education-related giving appears in several forms. Guilford Education Alliance received $31,595 in 2025 for career exploration and workforce development programming, while GTCC Foundation received $26,355 for supporting students through Title Link services. For younger students, Cone Health was awarded $28,215 to fund telehealth services at High Point Title I schools, and Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater High Point received $26,000 for a program to support career planning. Food security is another clear line of support: Hopefulls Inc received $30,715 to provide meals to Title I High Point school children, and Growing High Point received $26,075 to support a resilient food network. Housing and shelter show up through Community Housing Solutions of Guilford, which received $32,305 to provide repairs to low-income housing.
High Point Community Foundation’s typical grant size sits in a narrow band: p25 at $17,550, median at $25,092, and p75 at $26,144. The recent grant list also shows a repeated $26,144 award amount in 2023 across multiple organizations, suggesting a pattern of standardized operating support. Grantmaking appears recurring rather than one-off, with organizations such as Open Door Ministries, D-Up, Growing High Point, and High Point Leap appearing in multiple years. The foundation uses both initiative-based grants and donor-established scholarship funds, and some programs accept unsolicited requests while others do not. Program design includes operating support, direct service funding, and capacity building.
