The High Point Community Foundation's grant program is designed to provide essential funding to nonprofit organizations that actively address the needs within the community. This aligns directly with the foundation's mission to support local initiatives and ensure that critical services and programs are available to those who need them most in the greater High Point area. The foundation prioritizes organizations that demonstrate a direct benefit to the community. The target beneficiaries of this grant program are primarily the residents and various groups within the greater High Point area, as the foundation emphasizes local impact. While not explicitly stated as "impact goals" or "expected outcomes" in specific metrics, the overarching goal is to support nonprofits in their efforts to respond to community needs, suggesting an expected outcome of improved well-being and enhanced services for the High Point population. The foundation's priorities and focus are clearly on local impact, with state-wide or national programs only considered if funding directly benefits the High Point area. Furthermore, there is a strong focus on ensuring the financial integrity and legitimacy of applicants, as evidenced by the detailed requirements for 501(c)(3) status and varying levels of financial statements based on annual budget size. Grantmaking restrictions highlight what the foundation will not fund, which implicitly defines their strategic priorities. They do not fund costs already incurred, endowments, loans or mortgages, sectarian or political purposes, or individuals. This indicates a strategic priority towards funding direct program and capital needs that have an immediate and tangible impact on the community, rather than administrative overheads or long-term financial instruments. The maximum grant allowed is $50,000 for program and capital requests, and the grant committee will not fund requests less than 50% of the total asked. They also implement a matching grant policy to ensure shared investment. The foundation's "theory of change," though not explicitly named as such, can be inferred as supporting local nonprofits with direct funding will empower them to effectively address community needs, leading to a stronger, more resilient High Point community. The strict guidelines regarding eligibility and financial transparency are in place to ensure that funds are responsibly allocated to organizations that can demonstrate accountability and a genuine capacity to deliver on their proposed projects, ultimately contributing to measurable positive change within the community.
