  Horizons' Community Issues grants award up to $10,000 to support organizations or projects serving LGBT people of all ages in Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, and Sonoma counties, focusing on the following issue areas: Arts and Culture; Awareness and Civil Rights; Community Building; and Human Services and Health.

• HIV/AIDS Community Grants
  The HIV/AIDS Community Grants are funded from the net revenues from the AIDS Walk and AIDS Marathons events, sponsored by the San Francisco AIDS Foundation. Horizons Foundation is proud to administer this grant program benefiting organizations involved in efforts such as assuring access to AIDS treatments, creating innovative HIV prevention campaigns, and offering critically-needed housing assistance.

• LGBT WISE: Working to Increase Services for Elders
  LGBT WISE is a landmark program to increase the capacity of LGBT organizations in the Bay Area to provide services to LGBT elders, a population that is critically underserved - and growing.

• Rickey Williams Leader Fellowships
  The Rickey Williams Leader Fellowships recognize and support outstanding LGBT leaders from communities of color, while also supporting LGBT organizations that focus on communities of color.

• Scholarships
  Horizons is home to several scholarships focused on the supporting and raising the visibility of the LGBT community, including GAPA's George Choy Memorial Scholarship, Markowski-Leach Scholarship, Juan Marquez Scholarship, Pride Law Fund's Thomas H. Steel Fellowship, and Joseph Towner Scholarship for Gay and Lesbian Families.

• Field of Interest Funds
  Horizons has created several field of interest funds that bring together donors around particular topics and generate new resources for LGBT organizations and projects. These funds include the Gwen Araujo Memorial Fund for Transgender Education, LGBT Film Donor Circle, and Fund for Advocacy and Political Initiatives.
  
  

Horizons also manages and advises the grantmaking of donor-advised and other named funds. We encourage LGBT organizations to submit copies of proposals prepared for other funders that we can forward to donor advisors for review, as appropriate.

If you're interested in opening a donor-advised fund at Horizons, please contact Julie Dorf, Director of Philanthropic Services, at 415.398.2333 x103 or jdorf@horizonsfoundation.org.
