Overview

Mission

Euine-assisted therapeutic activities

What it reported doing in 2024

Provided equine-assisted therapeutic services to 95 individuals with physical cognitive emotional or behavioral disabilities

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
