Horizon Foundation Statement on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

At the Horizon Foundation, our mission is to work side-by-side with our community—building power, advocating for policy change and dismantling the structural racism that has long contributed to health inequities. We are dedicated to creating a future where everyone in Howard County and greater Maryland enjoys the benefits of better health, opportunity and justice.

Over the past few weeks in light of recent Presidential Executive Orders, we have been asked by many in our community, including our grantees, if our commitment to our new vision and mission might dissipate given the changing environment. Our response is that we remain steadfast and strategic in our efforts. Despite the threats and incitement of fear, data still show us that communities of color experience worse health outcomes in Howard County and we promise to work to close the racial equity gap and improve health for all.
