DONOR CENTRAL
Your home base for supporting FLEET OF ANGELS' lifesaving programs
In response to natural disasters and other major emergencies, Fleet of Angels helps hundreds of equine victims a year stay fed, in good care, and out of dangerous or deadly hands while their owners recover, repair, regroup, and find long term solutions to a temporary crisis that affects the safety and well being of their horses. We are only able to do this with your help. Each of our programs is a vital component of our mission and every single donation matters.
Fleet of Angels is the only national organization that does this lifesaving work full time, year-round and in every state.
Please choose one or more Fleet of Angels funds (below) that touches your heart most, and contribute what you can to help us help equines in crisis. (To review our one non-equine program option, scroll down to near the bottom of the page.)
Thank you!
Teamwork works!
MOST URGENT NEED
[Recommended]
Let Fleet of Angels direct your funds where most needed. FOA receives multiple emergency grant applications and requests for other critical services every week - often several a day. We carefully vet each application to determine the validity of the request, the severity of the situation, and the appropriate action for us to take. This is a way you can know that your funds are doing the greatest amount of good possible - where most urgently needed.
NATURAL DISASTER and MAJOR EMERGENCIES FUND
Whether for a current wildfire, hurricane, flood, or other disaster, this fund helps equine victims of disasters and other critical emergencies have the feed and other critical assistance they need to be safe and in good care while their owners recover find long term solutions to temporary crises. Donations to this fund are generally directed toward a current disaster where horses are affected and require FOA's assistance.
BONDED FOR LIFE GRANT FUND
FOA created this program in an effort to help keep closely bonded horses together during rescue efforts, emergency placements, and adoptions. These application-based micro-grants of $250 each are provided to encourage the keeping of bonded horses together for their emotional well being, and to help rescuers and adopters cover the initial added expense incurred when providing lifetime care to two bonded horses rather than only one.
THE LEGACY FUND
More and more frequently Fleet of Angels is contacted by elderly people who are ill or disabled and are in great distress as they struggle to provide for the equines they love dearly and have provided for, for many years. It is almost impossible to find new homes for these horses that are almost always also elderly and/or disabled. And, in many cases their horses are what gives these senior citizens a reason to live, essentially serving as equine therapy horses for their own owners. These are caring people who have responsibly provided good care for their horses for years and years - but now urgently need our help to get through difficult times. With your donations to The Legacy Fund, we can help these very devoted elderly people care for the horses that count on them by providing emergency hay or other critical needs, assistance with the cost of vet care or euthanasia to provide a peaceful escape when an infirm horse has no quality of life remaining. As a part of our assistance, FOA also works with these elderly persons to develop a plan to secure a safe haven for their horses 'when the time comes'. Please donate below to contribute to a fund reserved for helping facilitate this most worthwhile effort.
