Overview

Mission

Trot 2 Your Heart provides equine assisted services to individuals and groups needing educational, physical or emotional support. We do not charge for our services and funding comes from donations through individuals, corporations or foundations.

What it reported doing in 2024

Through our equine assisted services, we provided weekly sessions to over 20 students for three school semesters. Through these services we provided educational and emotional support through social and emotional learning activities with our two miniature horses. This included three volunteers providing over 80 hours of volunteer time. Two of our volunteers are our co-founders of our organization. They work as instructors, equine manager, bookkeeper, webpage admin, etc. They put in over 30 hours per week. This year we were able to pay one of our co-founders for her time spent on caring for the horses daily and for the time spent running the equine program and co-leading sessions with our clients. We hope to get back to being able to compensate both co-founders next year.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 68% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
