Philanthropy & Caring
We Take Care of Our Own—And Then Some
The togetherness we share at Horizon House creates an interconnected culture of caring—for each other, for our staff, and for the greater Seattle community. Here, generosity isn’t an occasional gesture; it’s woven into the fabric of daily life.
Giving from the Inside Out
Residents regularly volunteer as Friendly Visitors for neighbors in Assisted Living, offering companionship and connection. Others serve as appointment escorts, musicians who perform in common areas, or flower-arrangers who brighten shared spaces.
Three needlework groups handcraft quilts and other items for Seattle shelter families. Another group builds wooden toys for children in need. These aren’t staff-organized programs; they’re resident-led initiatives born from genuine care and commitment.
Supporting Each Other
The annual Partners in Caring campaign reflects our commitment to ensuring that Horizon House remains a forever home for every resident, regardless of financial circumstances.
Contributions to Partners in Caring provide:
- Residents Assistance: A forever home guarantee for residents who outlive their financial resources
- Staff Scholarships: Educational funding for employees and their families
- Enrichment Grants: Support for special programs and projects proposed by residents and staff
At the close of each year, residents organize their own staff appreciation fundraiser—a heartfelt way to celebrate the people who make daily life at Horizon House exceptional.
Connected to the City We Call Home
Horizon House residents actively support nonprofits across greater Seattle, organizations doing work that matters. The Horizon House Board of Trustees provides grants to local organizations, while resident groups contribute time, talent, and resources to causes they care about. This outward focus keeps us connected to the city we call home and ensures that our impact extends well beyond First Hill.
