About Greater Horizons
Greater Horizons’ recent giving includes a $10,073,050 grant to the University of Southern California and large support for DAFgiving360, signaling a platform that moves significant donor-directed capital across education, public benefit, health, religion, and human services. The foundation operates as a Pure DAF Provider and administers donor-advised giving alongside scholarship funds, field-of-interest funds, supporting organizations, designated funds, and international grantmaking support. Its mission is to increase charitable giving and connect donors to the needs they care about, and the recent grant list reflects that role: university endowments, child advocacy centers, faith-based organizations, and health institutions all appear among its grantees. Program-related investments and impact investing are also part of the structure, including private impact investments and recoverable grants available through donor funds. That mix points to a funder that combines traditional grantmaking with tools for longer-term, asset-based philanthropy. Recent recipients such as Kansas University Endowment Association, Bivona Child Advocacy Center, and Providence Health & Services Foundation show the breadth of organizations routed through its donor-advised platform.
What Greater Horizons Funds
Education is the clearest theme in the recent grant list. Greater Horizons gave $6,500,000 to Red Raiders Facilities Foundation Inc for education, $5,006,000 to Yale University for education, and $1,700,000 to Capstone Classical Academy for education. Human services also appears in multiple awards, including $3,564,000 to Child Saving Institute Inc and $1,500,000 to Bivona Child Advocacy Center, both tied to service delivery for vulnerable populations. Faith-related giving is present as well, with $1,777,355 to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and $1,514,450 to St Patrick's Catholic Church of Elkhorn. In health, medicine, and science, the foundation granted $1,000,000 to Providence Health & Services Foundation, showing that its donor-advised platform supports a broad set of institutions rather than a single cause area.
