A Horizons donor-advised fund is a flexible account for all your charitable giving, within and outside the LGBTQ community. Open a donor-advised fund with an initial gift as small as $5,000, and easily make grant recommendations throughout your lifetime and even beyond.
Horizons is one of the only donor-advised fund providers in the country — and the only one in California — that is of, by, and for LGBTQ people. By holding your fund here, you make a statement about what you stand for.
Over 150 donor advisors at Horizons share a commitment to creating a world where all people live freely and fully.

Benefits
Philanthropic advising
With four decades of experience, we can help you create a giving plan that aligns with your interests, within and outside the LGBTQ community.
NO FEES
If you join our Leadership Circle with an annual gift of $1000+ to the foundation, and that gift is greater than 1% of your fund, we waive our administration fee.
SIMPLICITY AND FLEXIBILITY
Make contributions of cash, appreciated securities, or other assets. Recommend grants online at any time or by filling out a simple form.
LEGACY OF PRIDE
You can recommend grants to be made after your lifetime, and you can change these recommendations without amending your estate plan.
TAX BENEFITS
Fund deposits often provide opportunities for federal income tax deductions. Contributions of appreciated assets can help donors avoid capital gains tax.

Choose among several investment strategies for your fund, all of which are closely evaluated and monitored by our Investment Committee.
