Bring Back the Horses Fundraiser

Summer is coming and our equestrians are eager to mount up. With the horses needing winter pasture in Oregon, EATA has a major expense every year trailering them up and down the AlCan. It’s a necessary expense since there is no equine assisted therapy without our favorite equines!

Fundraiser Goal = $4500

EATA runs on a tight budget and depends on donors like you to keep us in business. Although we apply for and sometimes receive small grants, we depend on fundraisers to meet expenses. It costs $800/horse for the six EATA horses to be transported and fed, so our fundraiser goal is $4500. (Program Director Janie Call absorbs the cost for her two horses Casper and Seven, although they are ridden every day in the program.)

We have set up a fundraiser through Facebook, which does not charge a fee for nonprofits. Although that is our preferred donation site, you can, of course, donate through this website using Pay Pal, which charges a 2,2% + $.30 processing fee.

Either way, we hope you will be able to help us toward our $4500 Goal. All donations are appreciated, whether $5 or $500.

And here is a reminder of the wonderful people we serve!
