The Lancaster County Community Foundation in Pennsylvania has announced that the High Foundation has created a $65 million donor-advised fund as part of the community foundation's Forever Lancaster campaign to build the community's philanthropic legacy.

S. Dale High, chair emeritus of the High Companies, established the High Foundation in 1980 to help improve the lives of individuals who live and work in Lancaster City, County, and other communities where the companies operate, and he served on the community foundation's board from 2002 through 2006, including as board chair. During his tenure, the organization embraced a broader leadership role in the community.

"The community foundation is humbled to work in partnership with the High Foundation in this new way," said Lancaster County Community Foundation CEO Sam Bressi. "We are honored to be able to amplify the generosity, vision, and legacy of S. Dale High and continue to support the High Family legacy. This new connection creates a transformational opportunity for Lancaster County and will stand as an enduring example of long-term commitment to our community for generations."
