About the presenters:
The Lancaster County Community Foundation
100 years ago, a group of forward-looking funders established the Lancaster County Community Foundation. This year, we honor them—and you. Your generosity, innovation, and commitment are part of our history of community philanthropy, and will be part of shaping the next 100 years. Philanthropy is for everyone. Whatever the size of your gift, giving to one of our endowed funds means you’ll be supporting the community for the next 100 years and beyond.
High Foundation
High Foundation's mission is to improve the lives of people who live and work in Lancaster City, Lancaster County, and other communities in which High companies provide economic investment and employment. Our objective is to enact positive, systemic change that will last well beyond our lifetimes. We support and champion projects which enable the dignity, diversity, equality, and inclusion of all people and generate beneficial social and environmental impact. The Foundation engages with those sharing a common interest in eliminating poverty and creating a vibrant, thriving community for all. High Foundation’s investment is distributed through grant programs and collaboration with community organizations and stakeholders. Foundation decisions are based on the core principle that all people are created equal and that we need to help shape a diverse and inclusive world for the next generation.
