The
Foundation will support programs and organizations that aspire to
create and maintain sustainable and livable communities by:
- Protecting
and conserving land and water resources
- Educating
children and adults about being good stewards of the environment
- Promoting
vibrant, child-oriented arts
- Teaching
respect for and preservation of historic assets
- Enabling
children and adults to lead their communities in thoughtful, creative,
and healthy ways
- Encouraging
service to others
Horizon
particularly favors programs that combine more
than
one of the above criteria, have measurable goals and are collaborative
in deed and spirit. Grant funding concentrates on building
organizational and community-wide effectiveness, developing
opportunities, raising aspirations, and generally making a positive and
lasting difference.
Geographic Area: Horizon Foundation will only consider grant proposals
from non-profit organizations that support projects primarily in
Cumberland,
Franklin, Lincoln and York Counties in Maine; Barnstable County,
Massachusetts; Mercer County, New Jersey; and Fairfield County,
Connecticut. We recognize that a
parent organization affiliated with the grant seeker may not be in one
of the listed counties, but the projects we fund must have a direct
effect on these counties. Any exceptions must be agreed to by the
Trustees and specifically invited by Horizon's President.
