The High Point Community Foundation awards grants once a year. The cycle begins June 1 with the distribution of grant applications which are due
September 1. Grant applications are then reviewed by staff and forwarded to the Grants Committee who select those who will be invited to make a
presentation to the committee. These presentations take place in early December and grant recipients are notified in late December. Checks
are presented in early January at the awards luncheon.
