Donate Money - The first thing to often come to mind, is donations of money. This is the cornerstone of most charitable organization's funding. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, all monetary donations are tax deductible. We appreciate any amount, no matter how large or small. Remember that all funds raised go DIRECTLY to caring for and rehabilitating the horses of ILPH-MI. Donations can be made through PayPal by clicking on the 'Donate Now' button to the left, or funds may be made payable to ILPH-MI and mailed to ILPH-MI PO Box 291 Dansville MI 48819.

Donate Time - Volunteers make the world go 'round! Or, at least they make ILPH-MI go 'round. We are completely comprised of volunteers, no member of the board of directors is compensated for their time. We can always use a hand with the horses. Volunteers can spend time feeding, grooming, lunging, and just spending time with the ILPH-MI horses. Volunteers are always appreciated at the various ILPH-MI fundraising events throughout the year. Opportunities include: scribing at dressage shows, helping in the office at open shows, judging on trail rides, sitting at the ILPH-MI booth at expos and events, even helping with mailings! So you see, horse experience is not necessary. we appreciate any offer of time.

Donate Feed - Often, the horses that ILPH-MI takes in are in need of extra groceries. The diet of an undernourished equine can be quite costly. Horse's with medical issues may require special supplements to return to complete health. Older horses may need daily supplements to remain comfy. Good quality hay is always in demand at ILPH-MI. First cutting grass hay to second cutting alfalfa - we can use it all for the varying needs of each individual ILPH-MI horse. The donation of any amount of hay is GREATLY welcome. No amount is too small. ILPH-MI purchases all of its grain through Mason Elevator Company, and we have set up a great system with them. If you would like to donate grain, please call Mason Elevator and purchase a gift card for ILPH-MI. Mason Elevator will put the gift card in our file, and this will be used to purchase grain. All donations of feed are tax deductible.
