Grant Range
$1K – $100K
Tips for Applicants
The Highlands Foundation primarily operates its own projects and seeks support through donations of goods, financial contributions, and volunteers for packing days. They do not appear to offer grants to external organizations for funding.
Giving Philosophy
The foundation believes in taking simple and practical steps to address the critical challenges in PNG's healthcare system, particularly the high maternal and infant death rates. They focus on hands-on intervention by delivering targeted aid, such as Mother and Baby Packs, Health Worker Kits, and medical supplies, directly to under-resourced hospitals and birth attendants in remote areas.
