Donate via Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, cash, or check. Every penny makes a difference. 

Attend a Fundraiser

We have several fundraisers a year! Click here to see what's next.

Sponsor an Animal

Many of the animals here at WWR are rescue animals or have special (expensive) needs. We are diligent in the care of our animals, but need your financial support! 

Sponsor a Kid

Sponsor a kid in one or more of the programs at Wonder Wood Ranch. Help make these programs accessible to those who need
​them most.
All contributions are 100% tax-deductible (EIN #81-2269799).

Sponsor a Program or Project

Help fund our TAILS Training Program or our Equine Therapy program! Or if projects are more your speed, get in touch to see if you can donate funds or supplies. 
We count on your support to bring hope and healing through horses to the most at-risk kids in our community.
With your help, we can make a difference for good!
