Support

When you give to Horizons National Chicago, you’re investing in opportunity. Your generosity makes possible confidence-building swim lessons, engaging field trips, hands-on enrichment activities like nutrition and gardening, and—most importantly—significant learning gains that help our students grow, thrive, and achieve their goals.

This past year, we were especially grateful for the vision and commitment of our founding funders of the University of Chicago Charter School program: the Bluhm Family Foundation and the Zoom Foundation. Their leadership laid the foundation for all that followed.

We also extend our heartfelt thanks to the many generous supporters who fueled our work in 2025, including:

Because of your generosity, Horizons National Chicago is able to deliver high-quality, year-round programming that changes lives. We are seeking additional support to ensure the health and sustainability of our programs and to expand across Chicagoland—so that even more students and families can count on Horizons from kindergarten through 8th grade and beyond.

Every gift makes a difference. Thank you for being our partners in helping Chicago students learn, grow, and achieve their goals.
