Capital Campaign
Our current Capital Campaign - Equine Health Center
Horses’ Haven is passionate about education for future veterinarians, current veterinarians and our community. We offer hands-on learning opportunities and experience, wet labs, and equine specific community educational offerings. The Equine Health Center will allow for conference space, clinical treatment areas, and more!
The project is currently in the beginning stages with architectural work being done. We will soon have a formal proposal to present.
Leave a Legacy Through Planned Giving
Foundation Giving
Public and private foundation support is critical to Horses’ Haven's mission: It helps provide rehabilitative care for the horses in need arriving each month and also assists with daily care, training, vet/farrier care and general program expenses. This vital support is also instrumental in furthering our continued growth and mission. Letters of inquiry, funding proposals and grant applications can be submitted to meet foundation requirements.
Stocks or Securities
Gifting appreciated assets like stocks, mutual funds or securities to Horses’ Haven is an easy and efficient way to support our mission.
Donor benefits include:
- The donor can receive a charitable deduction equal to the market value of the donated asset.
- Capital gains tax can be avoided on the appreciated value of the asset.

IRA Gifts
After the age of 73, mandatory IRA distributions can be designated tax-free to Horses’ Haven. The donor can avoid income tax and Horses’ Haven receives the entire gift.
