Leadership Transition Prepare for a potential donor and grantmaking realignment opportunity as Horizon Foundation announces the departure of long-time President Roger Doughty. This leadership shift may open doors for new partnerships, refreshed funding priorities, and opportunities to engage with a newly guided strategic agenda.

Funding Expansion Leverage Horizons Foundation’s active grantmaking and recent initiatives, including the transgender people of color funding program and the Community Issues Grants, to position allied nonprofits and service providers for multi-year funding, collaboration, and program support aligned with LGBTQ equity goals.

Regional Partnerships Capitalize on existing collaborations with East Bay Getting to Zero and other Bay Area initiatives to explore co-funding, joint programs, and regional donor networks that can scale impact and attract shared sponsorships from national and local supporters.

Tech & Outreach Utilize Horizon Foundation’s digital tools and tech stack presence (WordPress, Shopify, iCIMS, Calendly, LinkedIn Insight Tag) to propose scalable digital fundraising, online donor engagement, and streamlined grantmaking partnerships with nonprofits seeking enhanced visibility and donor data insights.

Strategic Positioning Position Horizons Foundation as a leading national voice in LGBTQ philanthropy with a Bay Area origin, offering opportunities for corporate social responsibility programs, donor-advised funds, and cross-sector collaborations that align with diversity, equity, and inclusion objectives.
