Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our goal is to be a resource in the community for as many unwanted horses as we can accommodate, space and budget permitting. We also want to educate the public about the need for animal rescue facilities.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
As we continue to grow and become a trusted and respected equine rescue, so has our volunteer base and personnel and board members. This adds more flavor, ideas, outreach, and strengthens our rescue giving it an even firmer foundation now and for the future.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We have been successful in receiving and caring for over 150 horses since 2009. We have a very strong base of donors who trust our work and our mission. Through the years we have worked endlessly to save the most dire equines in peril and bring about a change in their health and spirit. Our founder/CEO owns the facility we utilize and have a plan for future generations to continue our work here at AGES.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
The items needing our most attention are: Adding a separate circuit breaker panel and electric to all our outbuildings.....that is a costly venture we need to address. More importantly is getting the business of the rescue into its own building and not our personal home. We need a building we can actually run a business in adequately and also serve as a visitors center and have a meeting room etc.
