Our Mission

Great and Small provides Equine-Assisted Activities and Therapies (EAAT) to children and adults of all ages affected by a range of physical, developmental, emotional, and learning disabilities. Through a supportive and therapeutic engagement with horses we strengthen and empower our riders, helping them develop their full potential.

Rider fees account for only 30% of Great and Small's annual budget. Your contributions allow Great and Small to continue to provide equine-assisted activities and therapies to children and adults with special needs. Now, more than ever, we need the support from generous donors to bridge this funding gap.

Dollar for Dollar Gift Match Challenge!

EXCITING NEWS!

 

Thanks to the generosity of a dedicated supporter, Great and Small has received a remarkable $50,000 matching donation.

 

Every dollar you contribute will be matched dollar for dollar through September 1, 2024, doubling the impact of your gift.

 

This match challenge comes at a critical time for the riders and horses at Great and Small. Your gift will help keep the horses who mean so much to our students healthy and happy and your donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward the hay, grain, bedding, horseshoes and medications our equine partners need. If you give before September 1, your gift will be doubled instantly.

 

Here’s how you can participate:

  • Click the donate button, or send a check to Great and Small, 17320 Moore Road, Boyds, MD 20841.

  • To make our match goal, please make your contribution before September 1, 2024.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to double your impact. Your tax-deductible gift can make the critical difference.
