DONATION and SPONSORSHIP PROGRAMS All About Equine Animal Rescue (AAE) is supported by the generous donations of our horse-loving community. Without your selfless giving, we could not continue our successful program. We will gladly accept any donation, but for those who prefer a specific purpose in giving or advertising your business, AAE has created several donor and sponsorship programs to give your dollars meaning. Select a program or work with an AAE volunteer to create one. If you prefer a certain horse to benefit from your donation/sponsorship, please specify. We are a non-profit organization, and we have applied for 501(c)3 status. Your donations may be qualify for a Federal income tax deduction. Please check with your tax professional. SPONSORSHIP PROGRAMS Our most important sponsorships are those that support our horses directly and enable us to keep them healthy and safe. The best way you can help is to adopt a horse, since our main goal is to find loving homes for all of our rescued horses. However, if you are unable to adopt a horse, you can still help a horse by sponsoring it until a permanent home is found. Welcome A Horse ($750): Our Welcome A Horse program gives you the privilege of rescuing a horse from the feedlot. Although the “ransom” (or meat value) is typically donated by others, welcoming a horse includes transportation from the feedlot in NV to the rescue and basic care at the rescue (for up to six months) until the horse is adopted. Basic care includes feeding twice a day, bi-monthly worming and hoof trimming, vaccines, and basic handling. This does not include veterinary care for any extraordinary injuries or illness that may be needed from the time the horse arrives until the horse is adopted. As a sponsor, during the term of the sponsorship, you will receive the horse’s story, a picture of the horse when it arrives at the rescue, a monthly photo update, a monthly visit with the horse at the rescue (by appointment only), an adoption update when a permanent adopter is found. Although some horses may be adoptable immediately, the typical rehabilitation period is six months. As a monthly sponsor, you have first option to adopt a horse once rehabilitated, or to continue as sponsor for monthly care (after sixth month) until adopted. Horse Care Program ($100/mo): Probably our most important sponsorship program is our monthly Horse Care Program. Sponsors allow us to rescue more horses. Averaged over the course of a year, it costs the rescue approximately $100 per month for basic care for a horse. This includes feed/supplements, regular worming (every eight weeks), hoof trimming (every six to eight weeks), and vaccines. As a sponsor, during the month of the sponsorship, you will receive the horse’s story, a picture of the horse when it first arrived at the rescue, a current photo of the horse, a visit with the horse at the rescue (by appointment only), and an adoption update when a permanent adopter is found, and a first option to continue as sponsor for monthly care until adopted. Gift A Horse ($ Any): When you have a gift to give, give the gift of life. Make a donation (in any amount) on behalf of a horse-loving friend or family member. You will receive an electronic “gift letter” with a photo of a resident horse, indicating your gift on behalf of your recipient. Remember A Horse ($ Any): To express your sympathy and to acknowledge the loss of a beloved equine friend, make a donation to the rescue in remembrance of the equine.
