We Can’t Do it Without You!
Please help NCEFT raise $150,000 to support our clients, horses and programs.
Together, we can harness the power of the human-horse connection, one hoofbeat at a time.
Dear Friends,
“NCEFT’s equine-assisted programs for our veterans with serious mental illness are invaluable…The opportunity for veterans to be outdoors, with a gentle creature, and gaining knowledge about horses that transfer into basic social/human interactions is incredible. Many vets provide testimonials on how meaningful and impactful these programs are for them.” – Recreational Therapist, VA Palo Alto Health Care Services
Thank you for your enduring friendship and belief in NCEFT’s mission. Each day, I am privileged to witness the profound transformation of hope, healing, and growth through our personalized equine-assisted programs. NCEFT counts on your partnership to ensure our life-changing programs that provide sanctuary and empowerment are accessible to all of those in need of healing.
I hope you will consider a gift to help NCEFT reach its $150,000 spring campaign goal advancing our highest priorities including: caring for our cherished equine herd, growing client scholarships for those who can’t afford services, broadening our reach to new friends in the community, and investing in NCEFT’s valued team.
The human and horse bond transcends words. NCEFT creates a safe and unique ecosystem where barriers are broken down, and new pathways of strength are forged. I am honored to share a few recent highlights. We have expanded our profoundly impactful mental health and resilience programs for at-risk youth and people living with cancer. New equine-assisted retreats are providing solace and restoration for healthcare professionals and frontline care providers. The collaboration with the Pediatric Rehabilitation Program at Stanford Medicine Children’s Health and our hippotherapy program continues to grow and facilitate powerful healing for our mutual clients.
I am filled with deepest gratitude for your unwavering support. Your generosity has been the driving force behind every success story we’ve witnessed.
Together, we will continue harnessing the power of the human-horse connection to create lasting change in our communities, one hoofbeat at a time.
With heartfelt thanks,
Nancy Contro, MSW, LCSW
Executive Director
