LGBT Philanthropy: Taking Care of Yourself and Your Community

Horizons Foundation presents workshops around the Bay Area to help philanthropically minded individuals, couples, and families give to the LGBT community more effectively and strategically. Our educational sessions are designed to be donor networking opportunities in a solicitation-free space. Horizons’ Philanthropy Series covers a wide range of giving topics, with a special emphasis on estate planning because of the particular legal needs of our community in this area as well as the enormous potential for increased charitable giving.

This series is supported in part by The Evelyn & Walter Haas, Jr. Fund, The Ford Foundation, Levi Strauss Foundation, United Way of the Bay Area, and Northern Trust.

Capacity is limited, and RSVP is required. RSVP for all events online, by emailing events@horizonsfoundation.org or calling 415.398.2333 x115. Food is served at these no-charge events.

A Luncheon for LGBT Elders

Horizons Foundation and Northern Trust cordially invite you and a guest to a luncheon for LGBT elders.

Many of you have come to Horizons Foundation’s educational events over the years. This time, we want to learn from you.

Please join us on April 30 for an informal luncheon and conversation that will help us better understand your needs and approaches to LGBT philanthropy. Are you interested in joining a “donor circle” that supports a particular LGBT issue? Do you want to talk to peers or professional advisors about your estate plans? Do you need help finding services for LGBT elders, whether a healthcare provider or an appropriate executor/trustee? Have you written about your life and legacy as an LGBT elder?

Come explore questions like these over lunch at the lovely offices of Northern Trust. Your input is invaluable as Horizons Foundation figures out our next steps in working with donors who have collected such a wealth of experience!

Wednesday, April 30, 2008
12:00 noon – 1:30 p.m.
Northern Trust
580 California Street, Suite 1800
San Francisco

RSVP Required: RSVP online, call 415.398.2333 x115 or email events@horizonsfoundation.org.

Givers & Shakers Conference

Horizons Foundation's Givers & Shakers Conference

On January 27, 2008, scores of donors gathered at Hotel Kabuki for Horizons Foundation's first-ever Givers & Shakers Conference. This event was geared towards individuals who currently give or have the capacity to give at least $5,000 annually to LGBT organizations.

The day was full of memorable moments, from Anthony Romero's superb luncheon address and the stimulating opening plenary with leaders of the Jewish community, to the warm hugs and excited conversations during the tea break. It was truly inspiring to see so many donors with such powerful commitments to the LGBT community all in one place, devoting a full day to learning, sharing, and questioning.

Many thanks to all of our speakers and sponsors for making the conference such a success!
