"Working at Horizons has been an extraordinary privilege. Horizons' purpose has always inspired me: to help our community meet needs, win rights, and celebrate LGBTQ lives-both now and for generations to come. I'm immensely grateful to both the donors and funding partners who have made our work possible, and to the scores of incredible LGBTQ nonprofits that Horizons has the honor of supporting."
"During his tenure, Doughty has greatly strengthened Horizons Foundation's role as a trusted philanthropic partner, not only in the San Francisco Bay Area, but also nationally and internationally. Under his leadership, the foundation's grantmaking has risen to $12 million a year. Horizons' assets have grown from $2 million to $72 million. Similarly, the foundation's endowment has increased from less than $1 million to more than $20 million."
Roger Doughty, president of Horizons Foundation, announced his retirement effective November 2026 after more than twenty years of leadership. During his tenure, Doughty significantly expanded the foundation's financial capacity and influence. The organization's assets grew from $2 million to $72 million, while annual grantmaking increased to $12 million and the endowment expanded from under $1 million to over $20 million. Doughty led major initiatives including the Civil Marriage Collaborative, Give OUT Day, the Global Faith and Equality Fund, the Diversity in Philanthropy initiative, and the National LGBTQ Legacy Giving Initiative. The Board of Directors will work with Doughty through his departure to ensure a smooth leadership transition.
