Total Awarded: $224,880*

Community Issues grants are made possible in large part by the generosity of hundreds of Horizons donors, including those whose bequests and planned gifts have supported Horizons Foundation's LGBT Community Endowment Fund. The grants are also funded in part by support from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, Bank of America, and Target.

* NOTE: Because two of the 2010 Community Issues grants were issued in early 2011, this total includes them as well.
