Highmark Foundation

The Highmark Foundation is a private charitable foundation headquartered at 120 Fifth Avenue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, that makes grants supporting community health initiatives. Its open grantmaking programs include Community Health Grants, a School Grants Program, and the Highmark Bright Blue Futures Awards, and it administers restricted charitable funds that include the Highmark West Virginia Charitable Fund for Health and the United Concordia Dental Charitable Fund.

The restricted funds operate alongside the foundation's open programs: the West Virginia fund backs work that improves health and quality of life for people who live in that state, while the United Concordia Dental fund supports dental-focused charitable activity. Grantseekers apply through the overview and guidelines published on the foundation's website, and the foundation lists a toll-free line and contact form for questions that do not involve health plan coverage.
