Opportunities to Support LA Wildfire Relief and Recovery

Intersex-Inclusive Progress Pride Flag Waves in the Wind

Horizons Foundation is horrified by the loss of life, homes, businesses, and other impacts of the wildfires that have ravaged the Los Angeles area. For anyone our community knows who might benefit, we encourage sharing the Los Angeles LGBT Center's LA Wildfire Emergency Resource Guide, which provides essential resources to help individuals and families recover, rebuild, and find the assistance they need. 

Several donor advisors reached out to Horizons for donation suggestions for reputable organizations working with the impacted communities. You may have already donated or have an organization you believe in. Whether you have or not, we want to share four non-profit organizations and foundations working toward both immediate and long-term relief and recovery efforts, each of which Horizons recommends for anyone wishing to direct their donations during this difficult time.
