Three Ways to Share the LOVE with the Horses in February!

ReFUND CO State Tax Refund Program

A new Colorado program called ReFUND CO allows Coloradans who receive a state tax refund to donate all or some of the refund to a local nonprofit of their choice – including Mountain Valley Horse Rescue! It is a simple process. Just enter MVHR’s name and unique code - 20063004823 - on the line that says “Donate To a Colorado Nonprofit” on your State Tax Return, and your gift will go directly to MVHR!

If you expect to receive a Colorado State Tax Refund this year, please consider showing your LOVE for the MVHR Herd by donating in this easy way.

Be a Stable Supporter!

You may be one of our generous supporters who makes a single gift to MVHR once a year. Whatever the amount – $10, $50, $100 – your gift makes a huge difference – from a bale of hay or bag of grain (for the Seniors), to vaccinations to keep the herd healthy, or training time to help a Rescue find a new home. 

How about becoming a monthly Stable Supporter – does $5, $10 or $25/month fit your budget and charitable giving goals? Knowing that MVHR has 12 months of your steady support helps stable-ize our ability to provide for the horses, donkeys, and ponies who depend on you for their everyday needs. 

Not sure? Take time to consider a monthly donation that works for you, and we will send more information about how monthly giving makes a big difference for MVHR. Or today, simply click on the Donate button on our website and start your monthly support of the horses!

Leave a Legacy  

MVHR makes a lifetime promise to all of our horses. As we know from Sinclair, this can mean 40+ years of care and feeding. Your legacy support – in your will or trust – will help to secure the future of MVHR’s mission and commitment to the horses lives for many years to come.

Do you have, or are you working on, a will or trust?  If so, please consider leaving a planned bequest to MVHR. 

Look for more information this Spring about the option for planned giving. In the meantime, please call Shana at 970-653-0185 if you have any questions.

DONATIONS

If you cannot get out to the ranch to volunteer for feeding shifts, chores or other programs, you can still support the horses by making a donation on our website. Every dollar helps from $10 for a bale of hay to $6,000 to sponsor a horse for a year. With a steady herd of 20-25 rescue equines, the MVHR operating budget this year is $298,000. Most support comes from individual donors, like you.
