Third Round of Emergency Grant Funding.

A little less than three months ago, COVID-19 hit our community. Its impacts have been intense and relentless, as has our resolve to address them.

The HPCF COVID-19 Emergency Response Appeal was launched on March 17. Since then, through the generous support of more than 250 donors and a grant from the Lake County Community Foundation, we have awarded 40 grants, totaling $119,730, to provide critically needed assistance to our friends and neighbors.

Included in this is a third round of emergency grants, totaling $34,380, which the HPCF Board awarded this week to 14 organizations that serve Highland Park and Highwood children, families, and seniors.

Our community – which includes dozens of organizations that provide essential services to help Highland Park and Highwood children and adults – wraps its arms around friends and neighbors in need. On October 19th, the HPCF distributed 63 annual grant awards, totaling $746,925 – $133,725 more than in 2021 – to support the work of these incredible organizations*. This marks the largest number of dollars allocated, as well as the largest number of grant awards, to agencies that address the needs of our community.

We are extremely fortunate that so many organizations are able to help residents. The quality and quantity of their services is astonishing. We are also tremendously grateful for the support of our donors, whose gifts – along with a generous $300,000 grant from the City of Highland Park – made these grants possible.
