mean money! You can donate:
· Bridles

Or if you would like to donate a horse to us,
we would be happy to accept it if it would fit with our program
and goals. Must be people-friendly!
Everything you always wanted to know about
donating to Turning Pointe Therapeutic Riding
But were too afraid to ask!
Each year, Turning Pointe is honored by the continuing
support of hundreds of individuals and businesses. Often one would
like to donate but is unsure of the "best fit." We offer the following
suggestions for your consideration:
· Rider Scholarship Gifts ~ Turning Pointe
continues its tradition of providing funds for those riders who
are in financial need. A gift in this category enables us to continue
to serve all our riders regardless of their ability to pay.
· Equine ala Carte Gifts ~ You may specify
your gift for the care of one or more of our horses, or for certain
categories such as grain and hay, or veterinary or farrier care.
· Honoring Gifts ~ Your gift may be made
in honor of someone special to you.
· Special Purpose Gifts ~ These monetary
gifts provide for a wide range of items on the Turning Pointe Wish
List. This includes identification plates for the horses and equipment,
badges for our volunteers, brushes for grooming, computer paper,
improvements to our stables and replacement of tools. In other words,
all the essential incidentals!
· Gifts in Kind ~ Gifts in kind are sometimes
hard to measure, but hold great value. This category provides the
donor a method to enrich Turning Pointe in a non-monetary way. These
donations of actual products or services could be purchased equipment,
books, videos, office supplies, signs, or skilled professional services.
Please inquire about our needs.
· Benefit Contributions ~ We hold various
fundraisers throughout the year, such as the fall Hunter Pace, an
annual Trail Run, and our formal event. We gratefully accept donations
to help support these and other events.
· Matching Gift Companies ~ Increase the
value of your contribution with a matching corporate gift. The company
you work for may extend their support on the behalf of their employees'
commitment to our work.
· Memorial Gifts ~ Turning Pointe would
be humbly grateful to accept your donation honoring the memory of
a loved one.
We hope these suggestions are helpful and look
forward to assisting you in achieving your charitable goals.

Pointe is a 501(c)(3) Charity Organization. Checks may be made out
