Fundraising
Where does our funding comes from?
Lethbridge Therapeutic Riding Association (LTRA) is a registered charitable organization. Our registration number is: 107623076 RT0001. As a registered charitable organization, we rely on direct community support and private donations to sustain and grow our impactful programs. The costs associated with maintaining our therapeutic horse herd and facility are simple too large to cover through registration fees from our charitable programs alone.
Where Does Our Funding Come From?
Our funding comes from various sources, including:
Annual fundraising events
Tax-deductible donations and bequests
The Joanne Perlich Foundation
Various grants
Fee-for-Service riding camps and clinics, & horse boarding
Importance of Donations
Whether it is a private gift, a final bequest, the beneficiary of an insurance policy, or a corporate donation, all contributions above $20.00 are tax-deductible and serve to strengthen the viability of our programs. Your support ensures we can continue offering therapeutic riding and equine wellness programs to the Southern Alberta community.
How are Donations Used
Unless otherwise specified, donations and the support of our community tremendously aid in the costs associated with the delivery of our therapeutic and equine wellness programming, acquiring needed supplies and equipment, maintaining our facility, and providing care for our animals that are utilized in the delivery of our therapeutic services and inclusive recreational programming.
