What your gift pays for
We are committed to transparency. Gifts are directed to five areas.
Program delivery
Running the sessions from the first day to the last: materials, equipment, and the time it takes to do it properly.
Training and safety
Background checks, mandated reporter and horse handling training, safety equipment and insurance.
Horse care and veterinary
For horses in our own care, once rescue opens: feed, farrier work, and routine and emergency veterinary care.
Program facilities
Safe fencing, footing, shelter and tack for Saved by the Saddle's programs and its own horses. Donations are not used to improve or maintain privately owned property.
Administration
Insurance, compliance, and the record keeping a 501(c)(3) is required to do.
No financial year yet
We are newly formed, so there is no financial year to report on yet. We will publish annual financial reports and make our Form 990 available once our first filing is complete.
