    About Highland Park Community Foundation

    Highland Park Community Foundation’s recent giving shows a strong emphasis on shooting recovery alongside ongoing community support. In 2024 and 2025, it directed six-figure grants to Josselyn for general operating support and shooting recovery, and to Highwood Library & Community Center for general operating support and shooting recovery. Those awards sit alongside steady support for local nonprofits serving Highland Park and Highwood residents across human services, education, senior services, disability services, food access, legal services, youth development, and creative and cultural arts. The foundation’s largest recent grants also include support for Family Service of Lake County, Highwood Public Library, and Family Focus HP, reflecting a mix of broad organizational support and program-specific funding. Its grantmaking profile points to a community foundation working through both annual competitive grants and donor-advised funds, with recurring awards to local institutions and service providers. The pattern is local, repeat-oriented, and centered on organizations that address unmet needs in the community and expand opportunities for residents.

    What Highland Park Community Foundation Funds

    In human services and behavioral health, Highland Park Community Foundation funded Josselyn with $144,000 in 2024 and $105,000 in 2025 for general operating support and shooting recovery, then supported JCFS Chicago with $75,000 in 2024 for shooting recovery. For family and youth support, Family Focus HP received $90,000 in 2024 for program support and $56,000 in 2025 for program support, while Family Service of Lake County received $140,000 in 2023 for general support and $53,000 in 2023 for general support. Education also appears as a recurring theme: College Bound Opportunities received $40,000 in 2025 for program support, and the foundation’s education-focused programs extend to students and schools in Highland Park, Highwood, and Lake County. Creative and cultural arts are part of the portfolio too, with The Art Center Highland Park receiving $50,500 in 2024 and $50,000 in 2025 for program support.

    How Highland Park Community Foundation Gives

    Typical grants cluster around a median of $12,250, with a 25th percentile of $8,000 and a 75th percentile of $30,000. The recent grant list also shows repeated awards to the same organizations across multiple years, including Josselyn, Highwood Library & Community Center, Family Focus HP, North Suburban Legal Aid Clinic, Highland Park Community Early Learning Center, and Tri-Con Child Care Center. That recurring pattern aligns with the foundation’s philosophy tags: general operating support, program support, general/unrestricted support, and ongoing/recurring operational funding. It operates as a mixed community foundation and also uses donor-advised funds, with some grantmaking routed through those DAFs.

    Grant recipients are entirely in the United States, and the listed awards go to Illinois organizations only.

Among the named recipient locations, Highland Park appears most often, including multiple awards to local libraries, family services, early learning, legal aid, and arts organizations.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Highland Park Community Foundation

    What kinds of organizations does Highland Park Community Foundation fund?

    It supports organizations and programs that address unmet needs and expand opportunities for Highland Park and Highwood residents. The active grant programs include human services, education, creative and cultural arts, senior services, services for individuals with disabilities, food access, legal services, youth development, and emergency response.

    Does the foundation fund only local recipients?

    Yes. The geographic scope of giving is local, and 100% of grants in the recipient country distribution go to U.S. organizations. The recent grants list is concentrated in Illinois, with many recipients in Highland Park and Highwood.

    What is the typical grant size?

    The typical grant size is $8,000 at the 25th percentile, $12,250 at the median, and $30,000 at the 75th percentile. Recent awards also include larger grants, including six-figure support to organizations such as Josselyn and Highwood Library & Community Center.

    Are there recurring grants to the same organizations?

    Yes. Several organizations appear in multiple years, including Josselyn, Highwood Library & Community Center, Family Focus HP, North Suburban Legal Aid Clinic, Highland Park Community Early Learning Center, and Tri-Con Child Care Center. The pattern suggests ongoing support rather than one-time awards in many cases.

    Can nonprofits apply for funding?

    Yes for the annual competitive grant programs, which accept unsolicited applications. The DAF program does not accept unsolicited applications, because grants are recommended by donors through donor-advised funds.
