The High Pointe Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The filing's grant record leans towards medical giving and broad general-welfare purposes, with smaller amounts for education and religious purposes, so a medical or human-service request is the closest fit.
- Typical grants run from $5,000 to $105,000, with about 8 in 10 of its 124 grants falling in that band, and half were $15,000 or less, so a modest request near $15,000 sits at the middle of its record, though its largest grant was about $300,000.
- Applications are made by a written form stating the amount requested and projected use, and the filing gives no deadlines, so there is no set date to aim for.
- Most of its grant dollars go to Massachusetts organisations and no geographic focus is stated, so organisations elsewhere should not assume they are excluded, but a large share of grant dollars went to organisations it had funded before, so a first approach is likely to be less straightforward than a renewal.
- Only organisations that are charities under section 501(c)(3) of the US tax code are eligible under its stated limit, so other bodies should not apply.

Priority Areas
The filed grant record is weighted towards medical giving and broad general-welfare purposes, with smaller amounts recorded for education and religious purposes. Medical recipients include hospitals, healthcare foundations, community health services and research or treatment organisations. The wider recipient mix includes human-service providers, food-assistance organisations, schools, faith-based bodies, arts and cultural institutions, and community organisations. Massachusetts accounts for nearly all the recorded grant dollars, while a small number of grants went to organisations in other states. The filing describes written requests that state the amount sought and projected use, and limits support to charitable purposes under section 501(c)(3). It gives no deadline for submissions.
