The David R. Hayworth Foundation concentrates philanthropic support in the High Point / Winston‑Salem region, favoring local institutions and community infrastructure. Its giving emphasizes arts and cultural organizations, youth programs and education (including literacy initiatives), historic preservation, and healthcare capital campaigns. Grants tend to be significant, targeted gifts for campaigns or program development rather than many small, unrestricted awards.
A $1,000,000 gift to High Point Regional Health Fdn for the Family First Campaign is the largest recent grant on file for David R Hayworth Foundation C/o Elizabeth L Quick, and it captures the foundation’s pattern of backing local capital and campaign work in High Point and Winston-Salem. Their grants center on community institutions rather than individuals, with support reaching health care, arts organizations, youth programs, education, and historic preservation. The recent record also includes $450,000 to D-up Basketball Fundamentals & Skills Training Inc for general support and $400,000 to High Point Arts Council for general support, showing that the foundation pairs major campaign gifts with sizable operating or program support for organizations serving the same local area. The mix of grantees ranges from museums and arts councils to youth academies, community foundations, and preservation groups. Several awards support physical projects and institutional development, such as cemetery repairs, exhibit work, and education spaces. The overall pattern points to concentrated giving in a small set of High Point / Winston-Salem institutions, with repeated support for organizations that reappear across multiple years.
Healthcare is one of the clearest themes in the recent record. The foundation gave $1,000,000 to High Point Regional Health Fdn for the Family First Campaign and $200,000 to Pennybyrn for general support. Arts and cultural institutions also receive consistent attention: grants include $75,000 to Arts Council Winston-salem Forsyth for general support and $25,000 to Reynolda House for the Barbara Babcock Millhouse Exhibit. Education and youth programming appear through $100,000 to High Point Community Foundation for the Literacy Initiative and $20,000 to YWCA of High Point for the Latino Family Center DC Youth Trip. Historic preservation is another recurring area, including $240,000 to High Point Preservation Society for Oakwood Cemetery repairs and $10,000 to Blowing Rock Art & History Museum for the Mayview Manor Hotel exhibit.
Typical awards cluster at a moderate-to-large scale, with a p25 of $1,500, a median of $10,000, and a p75 of $50,000. The recent list shows both repeated recipients and repeat-purpose support across multiple years: High Point Community Foundation received grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and High Point Preservation Society also appears in more than one year. The foundation gives only to organizations, not individuals, and the pattern is responsive rather than prize-based. Grants include general support, capital campaign funding, and project-specific awards, suggesting a mix of operating and designated support.
