How to help

Riverwood is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit charitable corporation that is governed by a volunteer board of directors. All Riverwood students are charged a fee for lessons that is discounted in order to make therapeutic riding affordable for our families. The fees charged only cover 30% of our operating costs. A limited number of need-based scholarships are available.

In order to meet our operating budget, fundraising events, gifts, grants, special events and donations have to account for 70% of our income. Donations are vital to our success! Thanks to the wonderful support of this community, we are able to serve as many as 300 students a year and support 10 therapy horses.
