Let us know about your legacy gift.

By notifying us about your future legacy gift, you become part of the Horizons community as a member of our Legacy Circle. We're then able to recognize your commitment to our community's future when we honor the 400+ Legacy Circle members in our annual report. You also can become an inspiration to others to make their commitments — every additional Legacy Circle member is an example to other LGBTQ people and our allies.

Horizons will always keep confidential any specific information about your intentions and will always respect any donor's wishes to remain anonymous to the public.
