Corporate Sponsorship Opportunities
Corporate sponsors play a significant role in the success of our special events, from benefit dinners to horse shows. CTRC works with Corporate Sponsors to customize their involvement in order to best meet the corporations’ specific philanthropic, marketing and employee interest and involvement needs.
To make a profound difference in the lives of those we serve, CTRC needs, unquestionably, the financial support of tremendous champions of our work, like you!! Without doubt, our supporters keep our participants in the saddle, the horses healthy and ensures volunteers have an exceptional place in which to support our disabled community.
Dedicated to those we serve means we work on the guiding belief that finances should never be the determining factor in whether or not a participant is able to experience the benefits of EAAT. Being acutely aware of the financial demands with which many of our families are struggling as individuals with disabilities typically incur substantially greater expenses related to medical care, education, transportation, recreation, and even daily living, CTRC charges a fee-for-service no greater than 1/3 the cost of a lesson. Therefore, CTRC fundraises for over 2/3 of the cost of every lesson. Doing so allows everyone we serve, the majority faced with significant financial challenges, the chance to succeed and flourish.

Capital Projects:
The realities of a 39-acrea horse facility such as CTRC requires ongoing maintenance and repairs to barns, sheds, fencing, footing and requires the appropriate equipment (trailers, tractors, trucks, plows) to do so. Ensuring that maintenance of CTRC’s facility is critical to our ability to provide a safe and welcoming environment.

Matching Gift Programs (Monies & Volunteering):
Many corporations, have matching gift programs where they will match monies and/or volunteer contributions made by their employees, retirees, even spouses to charitable organizations, like CTRC. Check with your employer to see if they have a matching gift program. If they do you may be able to double your gift to CTRC. (Because policies vary check with your employer’s HR contact about enrollment forms and matching gift guidelines.)
Memorial and Honorary Gifts:
Gifts can be made in memory of a friend or loved one – two and four legged. Additionally, gifts can be made in honor of a special person or event in your life. If the donor wishes, CTRC will notify the designated person, or family, in whose name the gift is given.
Planned Giving:
Making a planned gift is an excellent way to help ensure the long-term future of CTRC. You can make a difference that will last beyond your lifetime by naming CTRC as a beneficiary in your will, on an insurance policy, or in a retirement account. Supporters can create a legacy at CTRC in many ways.
Pledges:
Some people prefer to make a pledge because it enables them to spread a gift commitment over a defined period of time.
