Frequently Asked Questions About Donating

If I make a donation, where does it go?
Unless otherwise designated by the giver, all monetary donations go into the general operating fund. These funds are used to pay for program expenses, ranch maintenance and horse care.

Are donations Tax-deductible?
Refuge Ranch is a 501(c)3 non profit organization and as such we can supply tax receipts for all donations that include but are not limited to: monetary donations, horse tack, ranch equipment, feed, land, building supplies, horses, etc. Contribution statements are sent out quarterly.

Can I donate my tack and/or horse equipment?
Absolutely! Donated tack is either incorporated into our program, or placed in our tack shop to be sold. All funds go into our operating budget to support the ministry of Refuge!

In kind donations are all other donations that are not a monetary gift. Refuge accepts such items as used tack, gift cards, building supplies for projects, etc. If you would like to make an in kind donation, feel free to contact us and set up a time to deliver your gift and maybe even take a quick tour of the farm!
