Creating opportunities in Highland County

With a common goal of ensuring Highland County is abundant in possibility for all who call our communities home, we partner with donors, doers and FAO to invest in three program areas that provide funding to local nonprofit and public organizations, students and community builders.

Grant Opportunities

Annual investments in our people and communities

With the support of our donors and in partnership with FAO, we award grants annually to nonprofits, schools and public organizations for projects and programs that create opportunities and meet needs.

Scholarships

Investing in students

FAO’s scholarship program is made possible by donors who believe supporting the educational and career goals of our region’s students plays a vital role in the well-being of our people and communities.

Fellowships

Uplifting the work and visions of local leaders

FAO’s fellowship program, working in partnership with its affiliate foundations, provides support to individual leaders with a goal of growing their impact from one community to many.
