Overview

Mission

The national equine institute of growth through healing (n.e.i.g.h.), through our equine and human behavior training programs, develop and deliver life-enriching, educational activities that can bring empowerment, healing, and behavior improvement. We support our mission with evidence-based outcomes.

What it reported doing in 2025

The constance project and beyond the reins programs - innovative programs that have been proven to have a positive impact on their participants. They are unique in that they use the reactions of a horse to its handler to vividly demonstrate the way we communicate with one another. Both programs are thought-provoking experiences that cause participants to strongly consider they way they treat others and how they view themselves. The horse and handler program helps individuals understand and build a better relationship with a horse.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
