HEALTH
Highlands Cashiers Health Foundation
The Highlands Cashiers Health Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that works to improve the health and well-being of the residents of Highlands, Cashiers, and surrounding communities. Since our establishment in 2019, we have awarded 180 grants to 103 organizations totaling over $11,800,000, directly addressing the needs of our community.
