AS I REFLECT ON THE PAST YEAR, I am truly honored to lead this organization into the future—creating and supporting meaningful, lasting impact in the communities where the High companies provide economic investment and employment. I am also forever grateful to our benefactor, S. Dale High, who through his vision and generosity has built a Bridge to Opportunity for countless individuals and families, leaving a legacy of business for good and exemplifying the true meaning of servant leadership.

Guided by our belief that every individual deserves safe, affordable housing and a healthy environment in which to thrive, we are excited to share new bold initiatives launched through our High Impact Portfolio in housing and the environment (pages 6–9). Partners for Environmental Stewardship was created to lead the development of a new Environmental Center on the Sunnyside Peninsula, fostering collaboration and innovation to address the ecological issues facing our region while restoring and celebrating the natural resources that sustain us. At the same time, we are advancing a comprehensive housing strategy that includes significant grantmaking across the housing spectrum, convening partners to tackle systemic barriers, and soon, signature projects that will directly expand the supply of affordable homes for working families.

Meanwhile, our Opportunity Grants Portfolio continues to empower organizations whose work is transforming communities in many ways. From expanding access to quality education and affordable housing to preserving our region’s rich cultural heritage and natural environment, these grantees are creating meaningful change. Their efforts in community development, the arts, health and human services, and historic preservation serve to strengthen our communities and enhance the quality of life for our neighbors. We are honored to invest in their missions and inspired by the impact they make every day.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Your partnership, passion, and perseverance continue to inspire us. Together, we are building a more just, sustainable, and hopeful future for all.

With gratitude,

High Foundation Strategic Framework

How We Give

HIGH IMPACT PORTFOLIO

In pursuit of systemic change, High Foundation harnesses the collective power of its resources and partners to address issues that impact future generations. Current High Impact focus areas include restoring, conserving, and celebrating our natural environment and addressing the need for equitable and affordable housing.

OPPORTUNITY GRANTS PORTFOLIO

In response to evolving community needs, High Foundation invests in economic vibrancy, community vitality, and individual and social well-being through grantmaking where High companies operate.

High Impact Portfolio

Launched in tandem with our 2024-2026 Strategic Plan, the High Impact Portfolio is our boldest commitment yet to creating transformational change in Lancaster County. With an annual investment of $5-6 million, the portfolio focuses on the environment and affordable housing, two critical issues where we believe sustained, visionary investment can lead to lasting impact.

We’re using a wide range of strategies to drive systemic change, including signature projects, grants, convenings, and impact investments— all while working in close partnership with public, private, and nonprofit stakeholders. The High Impact Portfolio is not simply about funding; it’s about aligning resources, partnerships, and leadership to make a measurable difference.

Deliberative Workshops provide tools, strategies, and partnerships to help municipal leaders address Lancaster’s housing needs.

Affordable Housing

Affordable housing was a natural choice for one of our first High Impact Areas. The need is urgent, and housing stability delivers far-reaching benefits— from improving community health and well-being to strengthening economic vitality. That’s why we’re using every tool at our disposal to invest across the housing spectrum. From homelessness and workforce housing to zoning reform and capacity building, we are committed to driving innovation and impact.

Our Strategy to Date

GRANTMAKING:

In 2024–2025, High Foundation supported more than 25 affordable housing organizations—strengthening their capacity to provide emergency shelter, expand affordable housing options, and plan strategically for the future.

CONVENING:

Deliberative Workshops

In 2024, High Foundation partnered with Hourglass and Franklin & Marshall College’s Center for Politics and Public Affairs to host two deliberative workshops engaging Lancaster County’s municipal officials on affordable housing. With participation from 25 of the county’s municipalities, the workshops identified zoning reform and public education as two of the most promising strategies to address local housing challenges. Survey results showed increased recognition of housing as a critical issue and a growing belief that local governments can take meaningful action. These workshops are part of our broader effort to equip and empower municipal leaders with tools, strategies, and partnerships to help address Lancaster’s housing needs.

SIGNATURE PROJECTS (COMING SOON):

High Foundation is preparing to launch major community investments that will expand the supply of affordable rental housing. These efforts will deliver meaningful impact for working families in Lancaster County. Stay tuned for the full announcement.

High Foundation partnered with Franklin & Marshall College and Hourglass to convene municipal leaders around solutions to housing affordability in our community.

Caring for the Environment

High Foundation identified the environment as a High Impact Area because Lancaster County is both rich in natural assets and facing urgent challenges. With more than 1,400 miles of streams, fertile soils, and exceptional environmental organizations, our community has the tools to lead. Yet over half of our streams are impaired and air quality ranks among the worst in the nation. By investing deeply and partnering with key stakeholders, we are committed to stewarding these resources for generations to come.

Advancing a Bold Vision for Lancaster’s Riverfront

High Foundation has committed $10 million to help realize a once-ina-generation opportunity: the creation of a world-class Environmental Center on Sunnyside Peninsula in Lancaster City. Led by the nonprofit Partners for Environmental Stewardship, this visionary project will serve as a regional hub for environmental education, community science, workforce development, and collaborative action on sustainability and conservation.

Designed to meet the highest standards of environmental performance, the center will be located on a new 70-acre urban nature preserve, created in partnership with the City of Lancaster. Together, the Environmental Center and preserve will transform an underutilized riverfront site into a vibrant public space that protects habitat, reconnects residents with nature, and inspires the next generation of environmental leaders.

The Environmental Center will be home to mission-driven anchor organizations providing on-site education, programming, and scientific expertise. These partners include:

• Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay

• Chesapeake Bay Foundation

• Lancaster Clean Water Partners

• Lancaster Conservancy

• RegenAll

• Stroud Water Research Center

• Water Science Institute

With design and planning now underway, the Environmental Center is projected to break ground in 2027.

Building Bridges through Opportunity Grants

High Foundation is proud to partner with organizations leaving a lasting impact on the communities where High companies operate. On the following pages, we are pleased to highlight the hard work of several 2024/2025 grantees.

Aaron’s Acres Camp Program, one of the organization’s core offerings, is held each summer for children and young adults, ages 5 to 21.

Aaron’s Acres

Aaron’s Acres invites children, young adults, and adults with disabilities into a life of possibility. Through therapeutic and recreational opportunities, participants socialize, strengthen communication skills, and engage in community service projects—all of which build self-confidence and boost self-esteem.

ā€œFamilies will describe that so often throughout the year, they don’t see their kids happy and smiling,ā€ said Risa Paskoff, Executive Director of Aaron’s Acres. ā€A parent will say, on the first day of camp for a returning camper, they’re up in the morning wearing their yellow t-shirt at 6am at the foot of the parent’s bed.ā€

Since its founding in 1998, Aaron’s Acres has never turned anyone away from programming because of a disability. However, once a participant turned 21, they aged out of established programs and found themselves missing the connections, friendships, and socialization they found at Aaron’s Acres.

At the heart of each program is a dedication to inclusivity and safety. With funding from High Foundation, the organization has expanded its programming and created new opportunities for people ages five to 40 to receive yearround support, as well as additional emotional, recreational, and educational support for the participants’ families. From summer camps and school year programming to adult sports leagues and cooking classes, Aaron’s Acres is establishing a network that uplifts, encourages, and supports caretakers.

ā€œI believe that every child, regardless of ability and disability, should have the same type of experience that we all have—being able to be with their peers, engaging in meaningful activities, and having fun.ā€
– Risa

Paskoff

Executive Director of

Aaron’s Acres

ā€œAarons Acres is all about possibilities beyond disabilities. This opportunity that High is giving us is allowing families to feel, ā€˜Oh, we are still part of a community,ā€ Paskoff said.

Chestnut Housing

Driven by the belief that housing is a human right, Chestnut Housing works toward a future where everyone has the opportunity to live in a safe, beautiful, and affordable home.

Over a decade ago, the organization was established by a local Mennonite church and continues to maintain strong ties with neighboring congregations. As cost of living increases and rent prices rise, Chestnut Housing invites communities of faith and residents of Lancaster City to seek out tangible solutions to the issue of affordable housing.

ā€œWe can’t build enough housing fast enough,ā€ said Chad Martin, Executive Director of Chestnut Housing. ā€œWhat drives me today is there is still an incredible, deep, persistent need for affordable housing in our community.ā€

Through a network of referral partners like Milagro House, Tenfold, and Community Action Partnership of Lancaster County, the organization transforms vacant buildings into apartments for mothers and children escaping domestic violence, people experiencing homelessness, and families looking for a fresh start.

When a new property is purchased, Chestnut Housing coordinates with local construction companies, architects, and property managers to rehabilitate the building. By leveraging volunteer labor and working closely with builders to keep construction costs lean, Chestnut Housing provides high-quality apartments below market rate. With support from High Foundation, Chestnut Housing will soon complete construction of eight new affordable apartments in Lancaster City.

Chad Martin, Executive Director of Chestnut Housing

ā€œMeeting our community’s significant housing challenges requires everyone doing their part,ā€ Martin said.

ā€œI want a community where everybody has a place to live that they can afford and feel at home in. A community where they can thrive and live a healthy, rewarding life. Everybody deserves that. Everybody should have that.ā€
– Chad Martin Executive Director of Chestnut Housing

Stroud Water Research Center partners with landowners, including Lancaster’s Plain community, to plant trees along streamside properties.

Stroud Water Research Center

Since 1967, Stroud Water Research Center has been laser-focused on the science of rivers and streams. In 2024, the organization planted 10,000 trees across Lancaster County and engaged 300 students and educators in watershed education programming and professional development.

In March 2025, using funding from High Foundation, the organization contacted 4,500 streamside landowners in Lancaster County, inviting participation in a riparian forest buffer program—an intentional effort to plant trees, shrubs, and perennial plants along a body of water to protect the waterway and enhance its ability to flourish.

ā€œStroud Water Research Center is grateful for the support of High Foundation to help us provide valuable outreach for landowners and farmers throughout Lancaster County in freshwater stewardship.ā€
– Jessica Provinski Director of Development at Stroud Water Research Center

ā€œThis outreach is essential for the Stroud Center to help meet the ambitious goals of Lancaster County’s Clean Water Action Plan to plant 6,000 acres of streamside forest,ā€ said Provinski.

These efforts are part of Stroud Water Research Center’s commitment to advancing knowledge and stewardship of freshwater systems through global research, education, and watershed restoration. So few organizations study these critical systems and how to protect them, with a collaborative approach that accounts for decades of environmental changes. By producing trusted science needed for successful stream and river restoration, Stroud Water Research Center fosters people’s passion for water’s impact in their lives.

YWCA Lancaster

YWCA Lancaster dedicates itself to eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all.

ā€œAt YWCA Lancaster, our mission is more than just words—it’s a deep commitment,ā€ said Stacie Blake, CEO of YWCA Lancaster. ā€œWe can’t do this work alone. It takes the support of dedicated partners who share our vision, and High Foundation has been one of those steadfast allies from the very beginning.ā€

To fulfill its mission, the organization engaged in a historic renovation and expansion project at its Lancaster City location. The organization will increase its capacity by 42% with 16 new living units featuring suite-style rooms.

ā€œWhen we first imagined the YForward initiative, High Foundation didn’t just support us—they believed in us.ā€
– Stacie Blake CEO of YWCA Lancaster

ā€œTheir early investment provided the essential funding needed to develop the plans for this historic rehabilitation project. That belief laid the foundation—literally and figuratively—for what has now become a truly transformative effort for YWCA Lancaster and the entire community,ā€ Blake said.

YForward is an effort to ensure everyone has access to stable housing, essential services, and economic opportunity. After construction

concludes, 16 new tenants will move into safe, affordable housing. Additionally, an ADAaccessible elevator will be installed and the Sexual Assault Prevention and Counseling Center and New Choices Career Development Program will move to a new space, fully outfitted with private offices, community rooms, secure waiting areas, and a discrete client entrance.

ā€œThe impact of High Foundation’s support reaches far beyond bricks and mortar—it’s about restoring hope, strengthening our community, and ensuring that YWCA Lancaster remains a source of empowerment for generations to come,ā€ Blake said. ā€œTogether, we are creating change.ā€

We Work for Equity

A world in which all people have access to opportunity is the world we want to help build. Our investments and initiatives further the goal of embracing diversity, promoting mutual respect, and broadening opportunity for everyone.

High Foundation is committed to leading while learning what it means to be a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organization. While this is an ongoing and evolving process, we’re proud of the strides we’ve made and will continue to work toward a more equitable future for all.

Honoring Those Who Inspire the Best in All of Us

Each year, High Foundation recognizes people in our community who give of themselves selflessly—role models of the human spirit who work tirelessly to overcome adversity and effect positive change. Regardless of accolades, opinions, or obstacles, they demonstrate the highest human qualities, moving beyond personal circumstances to make life better for others. Since 2001, the Essence of Humanity Award has elevated the stories of these individuals who exemplify the human spirit, beyond the requirements of their formal work lives, and demonstrate what it means to be a compassionate citizen.

At the Annual Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Breakfast on January 20, 2025, the Essence of Humanity Award was presented to Derrick Burch and Ron Martin, who have dedicated their lives to service, displaying characteristics of courage, love, strength, determination, and persistence. We congratulate Derrick and Ron for their outstanding service to others.

DERRICK BURCH is driven by his lived experiences, exhibiting a lifelong commitment to making a positive impact through his work as Director of Development and Community Engagement at The Mix, grant writing consultancy, catering, and involvement with various organizations. Derrick’s story is one of resilience, compassion, and unwavering commitment to bettering his community.

RON MARTIN spent four decades as an anchor and reporter at WGAL, the NBC affiliate serving the Susquehanna Valley. Ron’s 40-year career was groundbreaking, making history as the first person of color to anchor at WGAL and becoming a trusted source, delivering the news that mattered to the people of the Susquehanna Valley. He also took others under his wing, mentored them, and was a champion for them.

Recognizing and Honoring Academic Excellence

In 1982, to commemorate the founding of the High companies by Sanford H. High fifty years before, High Foundation inaugurated a scholarship program for the benefit of children of coworkers. This is a competitive program created to recognize and honor academic excellence and to assist High coworkers in meeting the costs of sending children to colleges of their choice.

Lancaster Water Week celebrates the 1,400 miles of streams and rivers in Lancaster County that are a source of drinking water, drive economic and agricultural growth, and are an escape into nature. Unfortunately, over 75% of these waterways are impaired. In keeping with our desire to leave Lancaster better than we found it, High Foundation is proud to be the Presenting Sponsor of this event.

Since 2012, High Foundation has supported the ExtraGive, Lancaster County Community Foundation’s signature event. By investing in causes they care about, community members have raised over $110 million for more than 500 organizations across Lancaster. As a Presenting Sponsor, High Foundation is honored to support a day of giving that works to alleviate poverty, promote environmental preservation, empower the next generation, and ensure a flourishing future for Lancaster County.

For 30 years, The High Center has championed family business owners, providing the resources and support to encourage long-term sustainability.

2025.

Executive Peer Groups include 12–15 High Center Members committed to supporting each other, sharing best practices, and problem-solving in a confidential, discussion-based environment.

Celebrating 30 Years of The High Center

Founded by S. Dale High in 1995 at his alma mater, The High Center at Elizabethtown College was created to support family and privately held businesses as they prepare for leadership transitions.

ā€œI noticed that so many privately held companies had been in business for a number of years. Transition was absolutely mandatory and it wasn’t being prepared for.ā€ Dale said. ā€œI thought Elizabethtown College would be an ideal base for this because Elizabethtown was well known for their business acumen, and so many of their business graduates were moving into privately held companies in the region.ā€

The High Center was not established by consultants, but by family business people who were willing to turn their lived experiences into a shared resource. Three decades later, The High Center has grown to become one of the nation’s largest centers devoted to equipping family and privately held businesses with leadership development resources, executive peer groups, best practices in education, and legacy planning.

ā€œEvery time we have a peer group meeting, there’s an impact on our business,ā€ said Dan Sahd, Team Leader at Sahd Metal Recycling. ā€œWhen you’re sitting around a room, being completely vulnerable, showing your numbers, talking about your challenges in your business, [and] sharing issues, it really is so helpful to have all those people in that room holding you accountable on things.ā€

The High Center’s influence spans across six regions in Central Pennsylvania, serving more

than 200 executives in family-owned and privately held businesses that power the Commonwealth’s economy. What began as an effort to support business leaders has expanded to empower the nonprofit sector as well, offering peer groups for nonprofit leaders and focusing its services on organizational and leadership development.

ā€œThere’s just so many places we want to go and so many people to help and lives to change by bringing the services of The High Center to a larger region,ā€ said Michael Mitchell, Executive Director of The High Center.

This endeavor is among the many ways High Foundation aims to lead transformative change by example, inspiring leaders to give the best of what they offer to their communities.

ā€œThe High Center has well exceeded any expectations I would of have had for it 30 years ago when it began and I attribute that to so many of the leaders that have really taken the Center to where it is now.ā€
