About Horne Family Foundation
The Horne Family Foundation divides its grantmaking between two clearly defined tracks: wildlife, environment, and animal welfare, alongside human services work centered in Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire. That split shows up in the recent grants list, where the foundation has backed conservation, animal welfare, and community-serving nonprofits in separate streams rather than through a single broad theme. Recent wildlife and environment support includes $25,000 to The Story of Stuff for general activities and $24,781 to Newhouse Wildlife Center for general activities. The foundation also supported a mix of conservation and animal-focused organizations such as American Humane Society, Global Conservation Force, Environmental Investigation Agency, and Island Press. On the human services side, grants to Boys and Girls Club of Souhegan Valley and Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation reflect its regional interest in Merrimack Valley and southern New Hampshire communities. The portfolio also includes New England Wildlife Center, Nature Conservancy of Nh, and Humane League, reinforcing a pattern of support for operating needs rather than restricted project-only funding.
What Horne Family Foundation Funds
Within wildlife, environment, and animal welfare, the foundation funds both advocacy and direct-care organizations. Examples include $25,000 to Environmental Investigation Agency for general activities, $25,000 to Island Press for general activities, and $20,000 to Humane League for general activities. Those grants point to interest in conservation messaging, environmental work, and animal welfare. The human services division is centered on Massachusetts and nearby communities. The foundation gave $20,000 to Boys and Girls Club of Souhegan Valley for general activities and $20,000 to Nature Conservancy of Nh for general activities, showing attention to organizations serving regional needs. Newhouse Wildlife Center and New England Wildlife Center also appear in the grant list, indicating continued support for animal-related service organizations alongside broader community and environmental work.
How Horne Family Foundation Gives
Typical grants cluster tightly around a core range: the 25th percentile is $10,000, the median is $15,000, and the 75th percentile is $17,076. The recent grants list also shows repeated support for some organizations across multiple years, including Global Conservation Force, Council of Contributers, and several wildlife or conservation groups. That suggests recurring relationships rather than one-time gifts only. The foundation’s active programs indicate division-based grantmaking, and one program accepts unsolicited annual applications while other division pages do not describe an open application process. The listed philosophy emphasizes general operating, unrestricted, and core support.
