Giving + Community Outreach
Give to Our Community
There are many different ways your support can enhance lives throughout Horizon House and the greater community! Tax-deductible donations can easily be made now, during your lifetime, or through your estate.
Gifts can be made in memory or in honor of someone special, or in recognition of a special occasion. Simply include a note with your gift indicating the recipient or object of the tribute.
In-House Giving
The generosity from our residents, their families, our staff, community members, and local businesses help fund Partners in Caring, our annual giving program that enhances the entire Horizon House community. There are three main Partners in Caring funds that our donors support.
Planned and Major Gifts
These contributions are the lifeblood of our endowment—the long-term, permanent fund in which the principal is invested in perpetuity. Such gifts require planning, both regarding the benefit to Horizon House and the financial implications for you and your family. Possibilities include:
- Bequests
- Charitable gift annuities
- Charitable remainder trusts
- Charitable lead trusts
- Pooled-income fund gifts
- Retained life estate agreements
- IRAs
To learn more about planned giving options, please contact Charlene Hutchinson at 206-382-3280 or by email at charleneh@horizonhouse.org.
