Our Vision
Horizon’s vision is Tō tātou rohe – taoio ora, tangata ora, mauri ora. Our place – a healthy environment where people are thriving.
Our role is to promote the social, economic, environmental, and cultural wellbeing of communities – now and for the future.
One aspect of our climate change approach is supporting people to make a difference. The fund aligns with that approach.
