About New Horizon Foundation
New Horizon Foundation’s largest recorded grant is a $52,000 award to Connections for the Homeless in Evanston for housing and shelter support, which points to a funder that backs direct-response services alongside a broader portfolio of arts, science, human rights, and social welfare work. The foundation’s recent giving is not limited to one issue or one recipient type: it includes schools, advocacy groups, health organizations, environmental groups, and emergency service providers. That mix appears in awards such as $50,000 to Black Pine Circle School in Berkeley for education and $50,000 to The Sausalito Foundation for nature preservation. The foundation also supports organizations working beyond its immediate community, including international relief and public affairs groups. Recent grants to Doctors Without Borders, International Rescue Committee, and the ACLU Foundation show a pattern of funding both service delivery and policy-oriented work. At the same time, the Evanston homelessness grant suggests a place-based interest in frontline support for people facing housing instability. Overall, New Horizon Foundation gives across several sectors, but the clearest recurring theme is institutional support for projects tied to social welfare and public benefit.
