What is the difference between the Horizon Fund and the Marin Horizon Auction?
As with all independent schools, Marin Horizon relies on philanthropic support to balance its budget and support the people and programs that makes our school so special. The Horizon Fund allows Marin Horizon to be flexible and responsive to yearly budgeting needs, and supports teacher salaries and benefits, professional development, classroom and program expenses, tuition assistance, outdoor education, technology, athletics, and the arts. The Auction is an opportunity to socialize and build community while also raising funds for school programs and initiatives.

Full-priced tickets are $200 per person and will be available for purchase in April. Discounted tickets are available for families receiving tuition assistance. There are a variety of sponsorship opportunities that include sponsorship of faculty and staff to attend as well as underwriting. As ticket prices do not cover the entire cost of the event, sponsorships are needed to enable Marin Horizon faculty and staff to attend free of charge.

This year we expect about 275 parents, caregivers, faculty and staff to attend the Auction.
