Grantors
Much of HARK’s funding comes through our grant writing efforts. We are extremely grateful to have received the following recent grants.
HARK is very excited about our grant from Dogwood Health Trust that is enabling full case management and support including financial literacy training, academic tutoring, transportation support, health club memberships and many other wrap-around goods and services benefiting homeless students in two Buncombe County high schools and their families during the 2024-25 school year.
Our hope is to support these students through the daunting challenges hindering their academic success, graduation, and personal development.
HARK is grateful to the Community Foundation
of Western North Carolina (CFWNC) for providing financial support by awarding the following grants.
-
The Biltmore Lake Foundation
The Biltmore Lake Foundation funds are slated for aging out teens, homeless students and Kinship families in the Biltmore Lakes area zip codes. We use these funds to try to normalize the life of a child in foster care when they may already feel stigmatized.
-
The Black Mountain-Swannanoa Endowment Fund
Through The Community Foundation of Western North Carolina (CFWNC). These funds are being used for aging out teens, camps and class trips, and Kinship families in the Black Mountain and Swannanoa zip codes.
-
The Campaign for Southern Equality
Through the generosity of the Campaign for Southern Equality, we now have funds that will directly support the needs of the LBGTQ youth served through DSS.
-
The Ramble Charitable Foundation
Grant funds received from The Ramble Charitable Foundation are used for various needs of children in protective custody in the zip codes in the area of The Ramble and in the Shiloh community to help with after school pursuits.

The Walnut Cove Members Association
HARK received a generous award from the Walnut Cove Members Association and will use these funds to pay for summer camps, temporary housing for McKinney-Vento students and families, and to help pay the salary of our new part-time administrator.
