“If we lose wilderness, we have nothing left worth fighting for.”
– Aldo Leopold
The Horizon Foundation is a private, charitable foundation committed to ensuring that our iconic landscapes and natural resources remain for future generations.
Learn MoreThe Horizon Foundation has established a challenge grant to support fee simple and conservation easement land protection efforts. Horizon’s board of directors has committed to fund $20 million over the next four years.
Our goal is to galvanize the philanthropic community to join our efforts to protect our land and water resources today, before they’re lost forever to subdivision, development, and other non-conservation uses. These grants will be available to support the robust land trust community, conservation non-profit organizations, and other entities working to protect our land and water resources.
