Highland Street Connection and Subsidiaries

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.
