Donate & Sponsor

Your gift makes the work possible

Every donation to Center X goes straight into the sessions that change lives — helping a child find their balance, keeping our therapy horses healthy and ready to work, and funding the specialized equipment each rider needs. Whether you give once or every month, your support means more families can experience what happens in the arena. And because we're a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, your gift may offer tax benefits too.

Every gift is 100% tax-deductible. Center X Equine Therapy is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (Tax I.D. on file). You will receive a receipt for your records, and your gift may offer tax benefits where allowed by law.

Other ways to give

Direct your support to the part of our mission that speaks to you most.

Horse Sponsorship

Our horses are the heart of every session, and keeping them healthy takes real, year-round resources. Sponsoring a horse helps cover the things they need most — feed and shavings, farrier and vet visits, tack, and day-to-day stall care. You can give once or set up a recurring sponsorship, and every gift is 100% tax-deductible.

$250 — New shoes Hardworking therapy horses need new shoes every 6–8 weeks, so this is a recurring cost. A recurring $250 gift keeps one horse sound and comfortable all year.
$1,415 — One month of board Covers cleaning, shavings, food, and board for one therapy horse for a full month.

Choose an amount to give

Popular horse-care gift amounts are $100, $250, $500, and $1,000 — one-time or recurring. Prefer to fully sponsor a horse? Our recognition levels below come with a thank-you from the herd.

Capital Fund

The Capital Fund pays for the spaces and equipment that make therapy possible — the arena, the barn, the mounting ramps, and the everyday upkeep that keeps it all safe and accessible. These are the behind-the-scenes investments that let us welcome more riders and grow the program over time. Every gift is 100% tax-deductible.

Client Financial Aid

No child should miss out on therapy because of what it costs. The Client Financial Aid Fund creates scholarships that cover part of a rider's sessions, so families facing financial hardship can still take part. Your gift opens the door for a child to build the strength, confidence, and connection that time with a horse can bring. Every gift is 100% tax-deductible.
