how you can help
From your heart to our herdYour tax-deductible donation to Chance of a Lifetime will provide transformative care and healing to horses and people. Since we began in 2019, COLT’s horses, who are skilled at mirroring hope, have supported more than 500 people in their healing journeys.
Gift Opportunities
Your gift makes our work possible. Please consider giving monthly to sustain our operations in the long term. If you’d rather give once, below are some examples of what you support can do:
$250 Sponsor a Horse: A gift of $250 can provide feed and supplements for one horse for one month.
$500 Veterinary Care: Our horses live in an environment where their safety and security are the first priority. A gift of $500 can provide an annual dental visit.
$1,000 Therapeutic Training: Our veteran trainers believe that by allowing horses to be who they were meant to be, they eventually develop into conduits of therapy for people who are struggling and as such, become an asset to the community. A gift of $1,000 can provide one month of intensive training for one horse.
$2,300 Rehabilitation and Time to Heal: Our horses come to us with traumatic histories and unique needs. Rehabilitation and retraining these special horses may take months, and often years. A gift of $2,300 can provide one year of food and basic care for one horse.
$10,000 Pay it Forward: As our organization grows, so do opportunities to train the next generation of young professionals with similar passions to learn how to facilitate the mutual healing of horses and humans. A gift of $10,000 can help provide paid internships and work studies for therapists, social workers and horsemen to gain experience and enhance their expertise, while also contributing to COLT’s general operations.
