As we remember Rob’s impact, we would like to announce two new opportunities to honor his memory and the organization that he worked tirelessly to found:
The Rob Horwich Legacy Fund. You can contribute to this fund by making a planned giving legacy gift through your will, life insurance policy, retirement assets, etc., to Community Conservation.

A Spring 2024 donor trip to Community Baboon Sanctuary in Belize. The trip will allow participants to stay at the Sanctuary that Rob founded nearly 40 years ago that has become a landmark of conservation in Belize.
