Philanthropy
Have you ever wondered how Heart of Phoenix has grown to fulfilling its mission of building a better future for horses?
It is only possible because of those who give with an eye to the future they wish to create for horses; You are who accounts for over ninety percent of our operating revenue. Our much needed support comes almost always from individuals, and otherwise, it is from equine friendly foundations. HOP does not receive any state or federal funding.
​
We suggest donors explore DAFs (donor-advised funds), other charitable distributions from retirement assets, or contributing appreciated stock or real estate — these strategies may offer tax advantages.
Donors can leave a lasting, impactful legacy for the ethical care of horses by including HOP in their estate planning.
The draw? Our state of West Virginia, where HOP was founded, was grown on the backs of horses through coal, gas, timber and the ability of settlers to farm on our hillsides.
Horses deserve a lasting protection from those that love them.
Giving to HOP means you are investing in a future for horses you can belive in after you are gone.
