Why Donate to Horizons?
Because we are devoted to ensuring homeless children have the same opportunities—to grow, learn and play—as all children in Massachusetts.

Your Gift Makes a Difference.
Each year, our annual fund relies on the generosity of people like you to provide critical support for our Early Education Center, Playspace, and Family Partnership programs. This support allows us to serve thousands of homeless children each week. Nearly 50% of our funding comes directly from private donations, Transfer of Securities or donor advised funds.

Your gift will provide much-needed support for our programs, including:

$25 towards Play-Doh and other crafts that enhance children’s sense of touch and inspire creativity
$50 for a set of puzzles that will build children’s problem solving skills
$150 towards dramatic play costumes and props to spur imagination
$500 for a play kitchen to inspire the next famous chef
$2,500 brings music and art lessons to 175 children in our early education centers for one month
