Highgate Associate
Relief Fund
AS AN EXTENSION OF THE HIGHGATE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION, THE HIGHGATE ASSOCIATE RELIEF FUND was established to support our colleagues in times of global or regional disaster and personal hardship. Eligible full-time associates affected by natural disasters or other extreme events may apply for charitable grants that help address basic and critical needs.
A Source of Light
Highgate continually strives to make an impact on hospitality as well as the greater global community. Philanthropy is at the core of our company culture, and we endeavor to instill a sense of giving back into everything we do. Highgate established the Highgate Charitable Foundation (HCF), a 501(c)(3) charitable fund, to be a positive force in the lives of people near and far. This philanthropic vehicle is an integral part of Highgate’s business and incorporates associates, guests, vendors, and business partners.
​
The Highgate Charitable Foundation has received $500,000 from the Highgate organization in direct support of the Highgate Associate Relief Fund. Generous funds have also been contributed by senior leaders and hotel ownership groups. The Highgate Associate Relief Fund is also funded through voluntary donations from our own associates, vendors, business partners, partner organizations, and our loyal guests.
Grants from the fund can be used to support immediate and critical needs including rent payments, utilities, groceries, and childcare.
The Highgate Associate Relief Fund has allowed us to quickly care for colleagues affected by natural disasters in the past and will continue to serve our community in the face of other hardships.
​
We invite those who are able and looking for ways to directly support colleagues to grow this endowment with individual contributions. Funds will be distributed through a grant application process and are honored upon assessment of need.

Gratitude from our Grant Recipients
I can't thank you enough... >
Dear Highgate Charitable Foundation,
I can't thank you enough for the generous donation I received a few weeks ago.
It completely surprised me. It will surely help me continue to pay for my health insurance for the rest of the year. I am humbled and grateful. This gesture from Highgate did not go unnoticed.
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. God Bless.
We have the tremendous privilege to have support from Highgate...>
We have the tremendous privilege to have support from Highgate as many of us are going through some of the most vulnerable times in our lives. I am thankful every day that I have chosen to work with this organization. There is no question that the people of Highgate are extraordinary!"
A standard of trust... >
I want to say a big Thank You to
The Highgate Charitable Foundation for the grant you provided to me for my needs.
​
This Pandemic is neither Highgate's nor my or any of Highgate's employee's fault.
To have an association reach out and openly show a concern for its employees shows a standard of trust and admiration that is rarely seen any more in today's fast moving world.
