We are delighted to report that we have just awarded $613,200 in annual grants to 58 organizations* that provide programs and services that benefit individual residents and the community as a whole. The HPCF’s annual grants address needs in five main categories: education, human services, senior services, services for individuals with disabilities, and the creative and cultural arts.

We are most grateful for the agencies’ commitment to serve our community. We are also incredibly 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.

We Gathered for Good and It was Great!

Our event was a resounding success! As so beautifully expressed by our event Co-Chairs Sofia Alvarez and Caroline Mead in their welcoming remarks, it was “truly inspiring to see so many passionate, caring, and generous individuals gathered for such an important cause—not just for a fundraiser, but to make a difference, change lives, and strengthen our community.”

This shared commitment made the evening most enjoyable and very meaningful. Honoring Pablo Alvarez with the Jack Blane Community Service Award elevated the event. In their presentation of the award, Laurie Levin, Board Chair, and Tom Koulentes, Board Member, delivered heartfelt remarks that made it clear: Pablo was the perfect choice for this honor!

We are deeply grateful to all those who supported the event with a sponsorship, event or raffle ticket purchase, monetary or in-kind donation. The event raised over $250,000 to support HPCF’s 2024 annual grants, which will be used to address the needs of our community and enhance the quality of life for all.
