Strategic Partnerships Opportunity to partner with Veterans organizations, healthcare providers, and local nonprofits to expand Hooves for Heroes and therapeutic programs, leveraging Equest’s proven track record with riders, families, and veterans to secure sponsorships, joint grants, and multi-site milestones.

Funding & Grants Revenue falls in a nonprofit range with active fundraising events such as the Blue Ribbon Gala and Auxiliary fashion shows; a targeted outreach to philanthropic foundations and corporate sponsors in health, disability services, and animal-assisted therapy could unlock grant programs and matched giving campaigns.

Program Expansion Current footprint includes 38 horses, 12 certified instructors, and 700+ volunteers serving 300 riders annually; explore scalable program models and licensing of equine-assisted therapies to neighboring regions, clinics, and schools to increase participant capacity.

Corporate Wellness Promote therapeutic horse-riding and mental health benefits as a unique corporate wellness offering for employers seeking inclusive programs for employees and veterans, with potential for nonprofit partnerships, sponsorships, and employee engagement initiatives.

Volunteer & Talent Leverage the large volunteer base as a selling point for youth and community engagement programs; offer volunteer-driven experiential learning packages to schools, universities, and corporate groups that also bolster program capacity and donor recognition.
