Awards Momentum ManeGait has recently earned Organization of the Year (Midsize) at D CEO's 2026 Nonprofit & Corporate Citizenship Awards, signaling strong external recognition and credibility that can be leveraged to engage potential donors, sponsors, and corporate partners.

Funding Opportunities The organization secured a $10K grant from RTX for its ManeGait to Freedom program, indicating openness to corporate philanthropy and grant collaborations that can be targeted for expanding programs or pilot partnerships.

Leadership Appointment Appointment of first-ever CEO Tricia Nelson suggests strategic growth, governance maturation, and potential emphasis on scalable programs and fundraising campaigns that SVP and BD teams can align with for joint ventures or sponsorships.

Program Spotlight Beacon Project and therapeutic horsemanship services are core offerings with broad accessibility benefits, presenting opportunities to pitch collaborations with healthcare organizations, schools, and community service partners seeking rehabilitative or therapeutic programs.

Community Reach Significant event activity (annual galas, large supporter base) and a midsize nonprofit profile imply a strong field presence; BD teams can target corporate sponsors, local businesses, and event partnerships to expand attendance, branding, and sponsorship revenue.
