Grantmaking
Overview
At the Highlands Cashiers Health Foundation, we seek to collaborate with organizations that offer transformative, lasting health solutions. From providing critical primary care through the Blue Ridge Health – Highlands Cashiers clinic to supporting school nurses at local schools, our partnerships are the central way we help improve health and well-being for all on the plateau.
Grants are our most prolific way to impact our community. The Health Foundation strives to partner with organizations whose transformative, lasting solutions will advance our mission to improve the health and well-being of Highlands, Cashiers, and surrounding communities. In 2024, the Health Foundation provided an average of $23,750 to the 16 organizations that received grants.
We encourage organizations we’ve previously funded to propose new innovative projects that offer fresh perspectives and approaches to addressing critical issues, ensuring diversity and effectiveness in our grant-making efforts.
