    About Highland Street Connection and Subsidiaries

    Highland Street Connection and Subsidiaries gives across a mix of education, youth mentoring, housing, environment, healthcare, and the arts, with Massachusetts accounting for 84% of recipient locations in the grants data. The foundation’s recent grants show a strong pattern of support for Boston-area institutions and a smaller set of California organizations, often through program-specific awards rather than unrestricted support. Recent examples show that the foundation funds both large civic institutions and direct-service nonprofits. Cathedral High School received $250,000 for educational programs, while Mentor the National Mentoring Partnership received $160,000 for mentoring. Other large awards went to Boston College for educational programs and the Greater Boston Food Bank for community work, indicating that the foundation backs organizations serving children, families, and neighborhood needs. The grant list also shows repeat support for some organizations over multiple years. Camp Harbor View appears in both 2023 and 2025 with awards for youth programming, and Eisenhower Health Foundation received healthcare support in both years. That repetition suggests the foundation often maintains relationships with groups that fit its program areas and geographic priorities.

    What Highland Street Connection and Subsidiaries Funds

    Education is a core part of the foundation’s giving. Cathedral High School received $250,000 for educational programs, and Boston College received $150,000 for the same purpose. The grant list also includes Bps Foundation at $100,000 for educational programs and Xavier College Preparatory High School at $95,000 and $60,000 for educational programs in different years. Youth mentoring and youth programming are another clear thread. Mentor the National Mentoring Partnership received $160,000 for mentoring, while Camp Harbor View received $100,000 in 2025 and $100,000 in 2023 for youth programming. Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston also appears with grants of $67,000 in 2023 and $50,000 in 2025 for youth programming. The foundation also supports arts and culture and health-related work. Boston Symphony Orchestra received $100,000 for arts and culture, and Eisenhower Health Foundation received $100,000 in 2025 and $100,000 in 2023 for healthcare.

    How Highland Street Connection and Subsidiaries Gives

    Typical grant size centers on smaller awards, with a p25 of $2,000, a median of $5,000, and a p75 of $21,001. The recent-grants list also shows a much larger upper tier, including several $100,000 awards and a $250,000 grant. The pattern suggests repeat relationships rather than one-off gifts in some cases: Camp Harbor View, Eisenhower Health Foundation, Mentor the National Mentoring Partnership, Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston, Crossroads, and Living Desert all appear more than once across the recent grants. Highland Street Connection and Subsidiaries is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it does not fund individuals. The active programs indicate both unsolicited and invitation-based routes depending on the initiative.
