Who We Are
Our Mission
The Calvin and Janet High Family Foundation will generously “give good measure” by building our community to connect, empower, uplift, and make a difference in people’s lives and well-being.
History
As a family and foundation, we uphold a commitment to “give good measure” – a phrase that was coined by Calvin’s father, Sanford High, founder of High Welding Company (later to become The High Companies). It is a statement of commitment to integrity, quality, and respectfulness in everything we do.
Our Work

Our Giving
We consider it an honor and privilege to come alongside and support nonprofit organizations as they serve the community and deepen their impact.
