If your still not sure what your donation can do, please read more about how your contribution will be used below.
Donations to our General fund help us maintain the park, provide supportive staff to our veterans and their families, and increase Veterans Programs that fulfill our mission to Honor, Educate and Heal.
The Park: With over 160 acres of facilities at The Highground, and over 20 tributes, providing a place of beauty and tranquility. Your donation might take on the role of a caretaker, ensuring that the park remains a vibrant and accessible space for everyone. It could fund initiatives such as educational programs, turning your contribution into the cornerstone of a thriving community hub. For over 30 years the park has been the foundational centerpiece that brings all of the aspects together.
Our Staff: Most people are not aware the impact staff can have on the experience for those who visit us. It is important to note that The Highground is completely funded by private donations, including our staff. We know that giving is a big decision, so it’s important to make sure that we honor the donation accordingly by paying it forward and serving those who may not even know that they needed our support until they get here. The Highground may be the first time a veteran hears “Welcome Home” or may be the first place that they can tell their story to another veteran. On numerous occasions families have told staff at The Highground “I have never heard him talk about this, in fact he has refused for decades”. Our staff provides a place where the veterans can heal. For some, The Highground may be a place that one goes as they contemplate what is next for them, a simple conversation can go a long way to changing the trajectory of one’s story. Providing those manned resources, free of government bureaucratic process allows those who need assistance to receive it.
Veterans Programs: The Highground provides multiple Veterans Programs and events each year. There is a full calendar docket each year in which programs are designed to engage with veterans from across the state. Whether it be “Veterans with Guitars”, “Female Veteran Retreats”, or “Male Veteran Retreats”, or simple stone ceremony, each event that we hold helps engage with our veterans population in a new and unique way in ways that happens nowhere else.
Fulfilling the Mission: As you can see your donation is not just appreciated, but respected at The Highground. It is seen as a opportunity to provide assistance, education, empathy and kindness to those in need. We hope that you continue to provide that support so that we can provide continued opportunities to “Pay it forward”
