An Interview With Meryl Sheriden, Chief Development Officer, Horizons for Homeless Children

FS: How do you fund your mission?

MS: Horizons for Homeless Children funds our mission through public and private sources. Approximately one-third of the agency's annual revenue is raised through the public sector (local, state and federal government), and the balance stems from private donations (individual, corporate, foundation, community). Annual fundraising programs include fundraising events, personal solicitation, grant writing, direct response, online appeals and other activities.
