Online Fundraising

At Horizons, every dollar raised helps accomplish our mission; to improve the lives of young homeless children in Massachusetts and help their families succeed by providing high-quality early education, opportunities for play, and comprehensive family support services, all of which rely on the generosity of donors like you.

At Horizons, we are excited about the power of Do It Yourself Fundraising, the idea of raising money for the organizations you love, by doing activities you love. Whether it is a lemonade stand, a barre class, or a bake sale, at Horizons we are grateful for all of our supporters’ fundraising efforts. Visit our blog for inspiration from some of our supporter’s past fundraising efforts.

We also have a tip sheet of ideas for events you can host on behalf of Horizons for Homeless Children.

Recognizing the dedication of you, our donors, and your commitment to fundraising on our behalf, we want to help you share your passion for Horizons with your friends, family and beyond in a way that works for you. Using GoFundMe Charity, you can now create your own online fundraiser that is not only easy to create, but easy to share.
