When CHS was sold to Appalachian Healthcare System in 2019. Highlands Foundation became a stand-alone company.

Our participation and gift giving comes from the earnings from the foundation endowment and the generous donations from individuals and companies across the region.

Since its inception in 2006 Highlands Foundation has distributed more than $5,000,000 in our Eastern Kentucky service area through grants and donations to schools, healthcare facilities, food pantries, endowed scholarships, homeless shelters, animal shelters, and other non-profit organizations that fulfill the mission of the foundation.
