Grant and Funding Programs Offered by Christian Horizons Foundation

Christian Horizons Foundation is a philanthropic foundation dedicated to sustaining and expanding the work of Christian Horizons and Christian Horizons Global. Since 1990, the foundation has received immediate and planned legacy gifts—including estates, real estate, and life insurance—and invested these resources to generate long‑term financial support. Its overall aim is to nurture communities of belonging in Canada and around the world, with a particular focus on people who experience disabilities.

The foundation functions as a funding body for the broader Christian Horizons network. Rather than operating frontline services itself, it stewards donated capital and channels investment returns into programs and projects. These include Canadian initiatives such as accessible family camps and community supports, as well as international work carried out with local partners in developing nations through Christian Horizons Global.

By focusing on strategic investments, including commercial real estate, the foundation seeks to multiply the impact of legacy gifts over time. Donors’ contributions help build an enduring fund that can provide an ever‑increasing level of support for inclusive development and disability‑focused ministries.

Funding from Christian Horizons Foundation ultimately supports children, adults, and families who experience disabilities, both in Canada and abroad. Canadian projects highlighted on the site include fully accessible family camps and other initiatives that promote inclusion and community participation. Internationally, the foundation’s resources help Christian Horizons Global work with local partners to promote sustainable and inclusive development in developing countries.

The foundation is overseen by a Board of Governors, who provide leadership and governance. This board structure underlines a focus on responsible stewardship of donated and invested funds, ensuring they are used to advance the mission of building communities where everyone belongs and where the gifts of people with disabilities are valued and respected.
