Giving Back

Horton Helping Hands

As part of our mission at Horton, we strive to be grow what’s good. Horton’s Helping Hands (HHH) is an employee-funded charity campaign where employees’ time, talent and treasure are invested into local causes to make a big difference.

Giving Back

It’s more than leading clients to a higher level of performance – it’s also important to lead the communities we all live and work in.

Once per year, employees may nominate a 501(c)(3) organization to receive up to $2,500 from the HHH fund. In the past five years, we have donated over $81,000 to date to local charities.

But “giving back” isn’t just about the donations. Our employees roll up their sleeves and volunteer on-site. We support the things that are meaningful to our community and that helps to unify us as an organization. Over the past five years, we’ve coordinated 69 onsite volunteer opportunities (resulting in over 500 employee volunteer hours) across Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin.

To paint a better picture, here are some of our volunteer highlights throughout the years:
