About the Foundation
Our Story
The HORAN Family Foundation was established as a reflection of Mike and Carol's shared commitment to generosity, compassion, and giving back to the community. It was founded on the belief that philanthropy can create meaningful and lasting change.
Through thoughtful charitable support and partnerships with organizations that share its vision, the Foundation works to protect and preserve the natural world, expand educational opportunities, and promote the well-being and quality of life of individuals and families.
Guided by Mike and Carol's commitment to service, stewardship, and community impact, the Foundation continues to invest in causes that create positive change and help build a stronger future for generations to come.

G3 Grantmaking
G3 Grantmaking ensures the Foundation's mission endures beyond its founders. The third generation takes on real grantmaking responsibility — sourcing, evaluating, and directing grants to organizations aligned with the Foundation's mission.
Through direct engagement with partner organizations, each generation develops the judgment, discipline, and stewardship that responsible philanthropy requires.
Where We Give
Grantmaking generally concentrates on Southwest Florida — though our giving is not limited to any one place.
