WAYS TO GIVE
MAKE AN IMPACT
Help us change lives through meaningful interactions with horses.
Contribute to the New Facility
Help us build Nevada’s first full-scale, collaborative Equine Assisted Services (EAS) facility. This one-of-a-kind center will expand access to healing, learning, and growth for individuals and families across Northern Nevada.
Memorial and Tribute Gifts
A memorial gift to LEAD with Horses is a heartfelt way to celebrate the life of a loved one while supporting transformative programs that foster healing, growth, and resilience. Your contribution serves as a lasting tribute, expressing sympathy, remembrance, and compassion, while making a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve through equine-assisted programming. All memorial gifts may be tax-deductible (consult your tax advisor) and will be acknowledged with a personalized letter sent to the individual or family you designate. The amount of your gift will remain confidential.
Give meaning. Give healing. Donating to LEAD with Horses in honor of a friend or loved one makes an unforgettable gift. Perfect for birthdays, holidays, or honoring someone you love with purpose and heart. Like memorial gifts, gifts of honor may be tax-deductible (consult your tax advisor) and will be acknowledged with a personalized letter sent to the individual or family you designate. The amount of your gift will remain confidential.
Planned and Legacy Giving
By including LEAD with Horses in your estate plans, you leave a lasting impact – a legacy of hope and healing – while transforming lives through equine-assisted learning for generations to come. Planned and legacy gifts are powerful tools that allow you to support a mission you believe in while also achieving your personal financial goals. The U.S. tax code offers generous incentives, including income, capital gains, and estate tax benefits, for those who give strategically. Whether your goal is to reduce taxes, secure lifetime income, protect your beneficiaries, or make a meaningful gift that costs nothing during your lifetime, there’s a solution to fit your needs. Some options include:
- Making a gift through your will or trust
- Donating appreciated assets like stock for greater tax savings
- Creating a charitable gift annuity that pays you income for life
- Gifting real estate while retaining the right to live there
- Establishing a trust that benefits both your loved ones and LEAD with Horses
Gifts of Stocks & Securities
Gifts of stocks are a popular alternative to cash because of the tax advantages they may provide. Not only will you receive an income tax deduction for the full market value of the donated securities, but you may also avoid capital gains on the appreciation of your stocks. If your donated securities are used to fund a charitable trust or gift annuity, there may be estate and gift tax advantages, as well. To make such a gift, do not sell the stock and donate the proceeds, as this will jeopardize your tax benefits. Instead, work with your broker and contact us for any additional information you may need.
Workplace Giving
Contributing to LEAD with Horses through a monthly payroll deduction is an easy and secure way to give back. It also allows us to rely on consistent funding to support our work throughout the year. Ask your HR representative if your employer offers a matching gift program. If so, let them know you have donated to LEAD, and your employer will match your gift with a check to our organization.
Corporate Support
We could never do the important work we do without numerous corporate friends who support LEAD with Horses. Our business partners realize that in order for us to serve our community and region, we require the support of enterprises both large and small. Corporate contributions enable us to deliver lifesaving programming while also offering businesses public relations opportunities that help amplify products and brands. We pride ourselves in custom tailoring gift programs that uniquely work for your company – elevating your brand, engaging your team, and reflecting your company’s commitment to making a difference.
Corporate Sponsorship
One powerful way to support LEAD with Horses is through event sponsorship. Our annual Horses & Harmony Benefit Concert, held each July, offers high-visibility sponsorship packages that connect your brand to an engaged and values-driven audience. Sponsorship benefits include brand recognition, public relations exposure, and the opportunity to align your company with a mission that transforms lives through the healing connection between people and horses. We work with companies to build custom sponsorships that meet specific business objectives and create lasting community impact.
