Overview
Mission
LOPE helps at-risk racehorses find second careers, while inspiring young people through horsemanship and veterinary education.
What it reported doing in 2025
LOPE is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that partners with the national and local horse racing industry to help at-risk racehorses of all breeds find new homes through its ranch adoption facility and online services. Through its youth education program, LOPE teaches K-12 students about the importance of stewardship, equine care and compassion for horses in rehabilitation.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
