HELP US CHANGE A CHILD ONE RIDE AT A TIME. As a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, O.A.T.S. wouldn’t be possible without the time donated by our volunteers and the generous support of the community. Ever mindful of the financial burden of caring for the disabled, O.A.T.S. has always strived to keep program costs low, making contributions from those outside of the organization critical to our present and future operation. Here are ways you can help us keep the smiles coming.
Monetary donations: Unlike larger non-profits with high administrative costs, your donation to O.A.T.S. goes straight to our horses’ mouths and to support a local program backed by more than 13 years of success. Donations are tax deductible as allowed by law. Mail to O.A.T.S., 3090 Weidemann Dr., Clarkston, MI 48348, or just click on the Donate button.

Corporate sponsorship: Supporting O.A.T.S. is a great way to fulfill corporate social responsibility initiatives, through monetary and/or product donations or on-site support. Companies have also donated funds raised through “Casual Day” or a portion of a day’s receipts. In exchange, you will receive: mention in our newsletter; an ad/link on our website; placement of your banner at O.A.T.S. (if applicable); the satisfaction of knowing your contribution helps more than 100 disabled children and adults; our deepest gratitude.

Make O.A.T.S. your designated charity: For weddings, other happy occasions or to honor the passing of a loved one with a memorial that will make an immediate difference.
Volunteer in the O.A.T.S. program.

Sponsor an O.A.T.S. horse: For a $1,500 donation, you can sponsor one of the heroes of our program: our wonderful horses. Your contribution will cover a year’s cost of feed and veterinary and farrier care. Many thanks to the Fanelli family for sponsoring Elf and Reo for a half year each.
