About This Partnership
The Horizon Foundation is a newly formed foundation that has recently established a $20 million Conservation Land Protection Fund to support land conservation efforts across Texas. The fund will support the voluntary purchase of land for conservation purposes, as well as the purchase of conservation easements, which are voluntary agreements that forever protect the natural and cultural resource values on a specific parcel of land. Currently, federal and state funds are available for land conservation, but the majority of these sources require 25-50 percent match funding. Without a dedicated source of private or public funding, much of these funds go unspent. The Horizon Foundation’s $20 million commitment will help fill that gap, providing a welcome lift to the longstanding efforts of Texas’s committed conservation community, including TPWF.
