Support Hidden Pastures
Help sustain the animals, programs, people, and working farm behind every Hidden Pastures experience.
Help care for the farm, support the animals, and make meaningful experiences possible.
Hidden Pastures is a nonprofit working farm built around people, animals, practical learning, and meaningful participation.
Donations help us care for the animals, maintain the farm, run programs, create new opportunities, and make participation more accessible to people who may otherwise be unable to take part.
Every gift helps sustain the work happening here.
Your Support Helps Keep the Farm Going
Running a working nonprofit farm means caring for both people and animals every day.
General gifts give Hidden Pastures the flexibility to respond where support is needed most.
What Your Gift Supports
Animal Care
Feed and hay, veterinary and farrier care, and the everyday needs of the herd.
Programs & Learning
Program supplies that support learning and hands-on experiences.
Farm Operations
Property maintenance, fencing and repairs, farm equipment, and everyday and seasonal operating costs.
Access Fund
Financial assistance and access support that help reduce participation costs when funding is available.
Choose How You Want to Give
General Support
General donations help fund the everyday needs of the farm — animals, programs, property, equipment, and staffing.
Sponsor an Animal
Support ongoing animal care — feed, veterinary and farrier services, and everyday needs. Choose a specific horse or support the broader herd.
Hidden Pastures Access Fund
Help make programs and experiences more accessible to people who may otherwise be unable to participate.
General donations support the overall needs of Hidden Pastures. Gifts designated for the Access Fund or another specific purpose are used for that intended area.
Want predictable, ongoing support? Give monthly to help cover the costs that continue every day.
Some Needs Cannot Wait
Not every need fits neatly into a specific sponsorship category.
- ✓A fence may need repair.
- ✓An animal may need unexpected veterinary care.
- ✓A program may need supplies.
- ✓Equipment may break.
- ✓Weather may create additional farm costs.
General support gives Hidden Pastures the flexibility to respond to those needs without taking resources away from the rest of the farm.
Help Care for the Herd
The animals at Hidden Pastures have different histories, personalities, roles, and care needs.
Some participate regularly in programs. Others are in retirement, rehabilitation, or simply have quieter roles on the farm.
Their care always comes first.
If there is an animal whose story speaks to you, sponsorship offers a way to help share in the responsibility of caring for them well.
Support Access to Hidden Pastures
Cost should not automatically prevent someone from participating in a meaningful Hidden Pastures experience.
The Hidden Pastures Access Fund provides need-based assistance when funding is available. Awards may help cover some or all of an eligible program cost depending on individual need, program cost, and available funds.
