Highland Park Community Foundation (HPCF) supports organizations and programs that address the unmet needs of our community and expand opportunities for all Highland Park and Highwood residents. The needs of Highland Park and Highwood residents are wide-ranging. From early childhood education and youth counseling to college readiness programs, senior services, and support for individuals with disabilities, these essential programs are often beyond the reach of many due to financial barriers. There is also a growing demand for affordable legal services, improved food access, and other critical human services many families cannot afford. Local nonprofits that address these needs are facing increasing demand at a time when government funding is shrinking. Service providers are being asked to do more with fewer resources, while the need for their services continues to rise. This is where HPCF steps in—by providing grants that help these organizations meet the needs of individuals and families who would otherwise go without. In Highland Park and Highwood, we value inclusivity, compassion, and resilience. By identifying and addressing unmet needs, HPCF strengthens the very fabric of our community. Through grants to nonprofits, HPCF ensures that no one is left behind—whether it’s a child in need of a mentor, a senior in need of care, or a family in need of support. Together, we are building a community where every resident can thrive.
