Who we are
North Highland Initiative (NHI) is a non-profit organisation established in 2005 as a direct result of His Majesty King Charles III’s commitment to support the people and businesses of the North Highlands.
Today our goals remain the same, to help grow and champion the potential of our natural resources and talent in order to encourage economic stability and build diverse resilient communities.
NHI focuses on supporting and funding community building, food and farming, education, conservation and tourism. It collaborates with local businesses, organisations, and individuals to foster innovation, create employment, and enhance the quality of life for the people living in this unique and beautiful part of Scotland.
