Horizons is the world's first community foundation of, by, and for LGBTQ people.
We invest in LGBTQ nonprofits, strengthen a culture of LGBTQ giving, and build a permanent endowment to secure our community’s future for generations to come.
Horizons Foundation Awards Historic $1.46 Million in Grants to LGBTQ Nonprofits Amid Hostile Political Environment
Horizons is awarding a historic $1.46 million in grants to 66 LGBTQ nonprofits and programs across the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area—the largest annual total in the foundation’s 45-year history. Through its flagship Community Issues (CI) funding program, Horizons is almost doubling last year’s amount, with half of this year’s awards granted as multi- year awards.

Supreme Court Lets Trump Cancel Gender-Neutral Passport Policy
The decision marks another step in the Trump administration’s ongoing efforts to restrict or roll back federal recognition and protections for transgender and nonbinary Americans.
