Giving to Therapeion
"The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well."
― Ralph Waldo Emerson
Help us Raise the Roof!
We're partnering with Courage Rock to build an indoor riding arena so we can offer year-round programs and services for those who can benefit from therapeutic riding. Please consider a gift to our Raise the Roof Building Fund. We're thrilled to share that we are nearly one-third of the way to our $180,000 goal! COMING SOON...we will have a new page on this website to tell you more abou the building project! Stay tuned!
Most of our budget goes directly to our student programs, but student class fees cover only 30% of our expenses. We depend on donations and sponsorships. That is why supporters like you are so important to Therapeion!
​
Thank you to all who have supported us in the past, and thank you for your future support.
The DONATE (one-time gift) button will allow you to give a gift through PayPal or by credit card.
Currently, it costs approximately $4,000 per horse for one year of feed, board, vet care, and other expenses. A full scholarship for a student for the summer or fall classes is $320 and a half scholarship is $160. However, any amount is helpful and gratefully received!
​
Additionally, you can "give continuously" (and painlessly) when you shop at Amazon Smile or Pay Less (Kroger) supermarkets. Just sign up with them to link your information and free money arrives to support our programs!
GIFTS IN-KIND
Therapeion also welcomes gifts in kind of classroom and office supplies, and feed, treats, and gear for the horses. If you would like to make an in-kind donation please contact us to see if we can make effective use of what you might be able to provide.
Libby Marks-Shepard Equine Fund
Named for Therapeion's founder in honor of her dedication and passion to our programs and horses, the Libby Marks-Shepard Equine Fund will cover the costs associated with boarding and caring for our horses and is another great place to give that helps out our four-legged Therapeion family members.
