Stroud Water Research Center is dedicated to advancing knowledge and stewardship of freshwater systems through global research, education, and watershed restoration. The Center’s Watershed Restoration Department works hand in hand with farmers and landowners to help them use their land more effectively through conservation planning, streamside forest plantings, and watershed stewardship projects. High Foundation partners with Stroud Water Research Center to ensure streamside tree plantings receive high quality aftercare for optimal survival and growth. These forested stream buffers provide substantial benefits to local waterways and wildlife, while reducing water pollution to downstream communities and the Chesapeake Bay. #highfoundation #highcompanies #philanthropy #nonprofit #givingback #education #healthservices #humanservices #artsandculture #historicpreservation #environment #sustainability #socialenterprise #socialgood #dogood #giveback #businessforgood #community #lancasterpa #cityoflancaster #lancastercounty #lancastercity #lancastercountypa #centralpa

The Lancaster Cleft Palate Clinic is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life of infants, children, and adults through comprehensive coordinated treatment of craniofacial conditions resulting from birth defects, trauma, and disease. For the past 85 years, the organization supported over 6,000 patients from 45 Pennsylvania counties and 10 states with a team approach that includes medical, dental, and allied health professionals. They accept every child who needs care and support the entire family. High Foundation is pleased to invest in new technological needs at the clinic, including the installation of a state-of-the-art piece of X-ray equipment called a Cone Beam CT scanner. This machine enables doctors to diagnose and treat complex medical and dental conditions affecting the head and neck more effectively. “The 3 dimensional imaging will be clearer and give a lower radiation dose than what we were able to provide in the past,” said Elizabeth Prada, DMD, MPH; Executive Director and Pediatric Dentist at The Lancaster Cleft Palate Clinic. “We look forward to treating our next generation of patients with this new equipment!” #highfoundation #highcompanies #philanthropy #nonprofit #givingback #education #healthservices #humanservices #artsandculture #historicpreservation #environment #sustainability #socialenterprise #socialgood #dogood #giveback #businessforgood #community #lancasterpa #cityoflancaster #lancastercounty #lancastercity #lancastercountypa #centralpa

Lancaster County Therapeutic Riding aims to enhance the lives of individuals with special needs and other at-risk populations through equine-assisted activities. Using carefully trained horses, Lancaster County Therapeutic Riding delivers equine-assisted therapeutic services to more than 250 people with special needs, local seniors, frontline workers, and first responders every year. When providing these services, the organization operates out of a 64-year-old barn with much of its original infrastructure still intact. After years of operation, the electrical system began to pose danger to volunteers, staff, horses, and program participants. High Foundation was pleased to contribute toward an upgrade of the organization’s electrical system, reducing the risk of fire and injury for visitors and participants. #highfoundation #highcompanies #philanthropy #nonprofit #givingback #education #healthservices #humanservices #artsandculture #historicpreservation #environment #sustainability #socialenterprise #socialgood #dogood #giveback #businessforgood #community #lancasterpa #cityoflancaster #lancastercounty #lancastercity #lancastercountypa

Water Street Mission provides marginalized members of the community and those experiencing homelessness and poverty with the tools they need to build a hope-filled future. Through emergency shelters, residential programs, health services, and programming for local middle and high school students, Water Street Mission offers an individualized approach to care for each person who enters the facility. High Foundation was pleased to invest in an upgrade of the Woman’s Residence Lobby and improvements to the Providence Day Shelter. “The renovation is enhancing our opportunity for guests to feel more ‘at home’ while they are here,” said Bob Kramer, Senior Vice President of Advancement. “As a result they are also more receptive to some of the individual conversations we have regarding their own plans for the future.” We are honored to partner with Water Street Mission as they care for the unique needs of people in the Lancaster community. #highfoundation #highcompanies #philanthropy #nonprofit #givingback #education #healthservices #humanservices #artsandculture #historicpreservation #environment #sustainability #socialenterprise #socialgood #dogood #giveback #businessforgood #community #lancasterpa #cityoflancaster #lancastercounty #lancastercity #lancastercountypa #centralpa

More than 81,000 children in Pennsylvania have a parent incarcerated in a state prison. SWAN (Scaling Walls a Note at a Time) exists to be dedicated advocates for children affected by parental incarceration and the resulting trauma by providing life-changing intervention through free music lessons, ensemble training, performance opportunities, and mentoring from local music teachers. Most recently, SWAN launched a pilot program called “Rising Stars.” This extended after-school session began in January 2024 and runs once weekly at Burrowes Elementary School. The program serves children who have experienced parental incarceration and the resulting trauma. Additionally, SWAN hosted a full-day, 5-week summer session. High Foundation is happy to come alongside SWAN as they support children in the Lancaster community affected by parental incarceration, offering them a space to express themselves through music. #highfoundation #highcompanies #philanthropy #nonprofit #givingback #education #healthservices #humanservices #artsandculture #historicpreservation #environment #sustainability #socialenterprise #socialgood #dogood #giveback #businessforgood #community #lancasterpa #cityoflancaster #lancastercounty #lancastercity #lancastercountypa #centralpa
