Hayden-Harman Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The filing says the foundation works by invitation only and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold proposal is unlikely to be considered.
- Its stated fields are college scholarships, community housing, health care and emergency assistance, so first check whether your work sits within one of them.
- The filing gives no grant range or geographic focus, so it does not show what a realistic request size would be, and a short first contact asking for a conversation is safer than a full proposal.
- With annual giving of $2,511,780, introductions through people who know the foundation are likely to matter more than paperwork.
- Organisations that cannot get an introduction should not send an unsolicited application.
Overview
Hayden-Harman Foundation is a US private foundation based in Alamance, NC.
What they fund
Profile derived from the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2025, TY2024, TY2023) and web pages about the foundation (newsobserver.com), with every statement checked against those sources. Sources read on 7 October 2026.
Priority Areas
The foundation contributes to many causes, including college scholarships, community housing, health care and emergency assistance. These are the charitable fields identified in the account of its incorporation papers. The available description does not explain the types of projects or organisations supported within each field, nor does it state an overall geographic focus, a typical grant size or selection criteria. It also reports that the foundation contracted to distribute funding to smaller grassroots agencies in the High Point area; this describes one grant, not a foundation-wide eligibility rule or geographic priority.
