SAFE HAVEN EQUINE RESCUE AND RETIREMENT HOME
A Place Where Horses Come To Heal
Mission
Safe Haven Equine Rescue and Retirement Home Inc. is a volunteer based, non-profit organization accredited by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries and dedicated to the welfare of horses. Our goal is to rescue abused, neglected, or distressed horses. We work to bring these rescued horses back to optimal health and to find them loving homes. In some cases, due to age or disability, a horse will not be able to be adopted. For these horses Safe Haven Equine Rescue and Retirement Home Inc. will provide a home where they can peacefully live out the rest of their life with love and dignity.

Charting Impact
Five powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
SOURCE: Self-reported by organization
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
How will they know if they are making progress?
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We are working on an online education program that would also include a visual tour of the facility.
By establishing different 'classes', we hope to allow individual volunteers to create each class. These will all be put together on an online Educational Section of our Website. STG: 3 months: Have classes established with guidelines all approved from the Board of Directors and have a Volunteer assigned to oversee that specific class. 6 months: All classes approved by the BOD and up and accessible on our Website. LTG: 12 months: Hopefully all social gathering restrictions will be removed and these classes can be conducted in person whether at the groups location or here at the Rescue Facility
We have several volunteers who are retired or current educators and will seek their advice and input in establishing this online program that will be accessible on our Website.
The first indicator will be if we meet our STG's. The second indicator will be to determine if classes our being used/viewed. We can monitor this by placing a user tag on each class.
As this concept is still in its infancy, we have no progress to report at this time

Organizational Demographics
In order to support nonprofits and gain valuable insight for the sector, GuideStar worked with D5—a five-year initiative to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion in philanthropy—in creating a questionnaire. This section is a voluntary questionnaire that empowers organizations to share information on the demographics of who works in and leads organizations. To protect the identity of individuals, we do not display sexual orientation or disability information for organizations with fewer than 15 staff. Any values displayed in this section are percentages of the total number of individuals in each category (e.g. 20% of all Board members for X organization are female).
