As we wrap up our fourth grant cycle at Highwind Impact, we wanted to take a moment to update everyone on our progress. Throughout the cycle, our team of young professionals worked to source, diligence, and partner with small, local nonprofits in 8 different cities to develop project-based grants focused on expanding the impact of each organization. We’re thrilled to announce that we have provided ~$140k in grants to the 24 incredible nonprofits outlined below! These amazing organizations are serving their local communities by tackling a breadth of issues from education and food insecurity to homelessness and healthcare. Thank you to all the nonprofits that worked with us this past cycle, our young professional partners, and our corporate sponsors. The generous donations that we received from our corporate sponsors, Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC, the General Atlantic Foundation, Ara Partners, TPG, and Antares Capital LP were critical to making this cycle possible.
