Our Approach & Impact

At the New Growth Horizon Foundation, we turn shared values into collective action.
We unite people around purpose, connect them to real needs in our communities, and mobilize service that drives measurable impact.

"When Proper was founded in 2019, community and connection were established as core values—grounding our commitment to show up for the people and places we serve. New Growth Horizon Foundation was created to bring that commitment to life—investing in individuals and communities across Missouri."


John Pennington, NGH Foundation Board President & CEO of Proper Brands
