The Horizon Foundation is a Maryland-based nonprofit organization providing philanthropic fundraising support focused on improving public health and addressing systemic inequities. As the largest independent health philanthropy in the state, it partners with community groups to fund health initiatives, advocate for policy change, and dismantle structural racism with an emphasis on mental health, chronic disease prevention, healthcare access, and healthy aging. The foundation positions itself as a community-led funder working in Howard County and broader Maryland to increase health equity, build trust, and support initiatives that remove barriers to healthy lives. Founded in 1998 and headquartered in Columbia, the organization operates with a regional focus and collaborates with grantees and partners to drive impact, including hosting and participating in relevant health policy and community forums. In recent years, its activities have included launching pilot grants for engagement with new partners and supporting local health organizations through targeted grant programs and partnerships.
