When you donate to The Southlands Foundation, your generosity helps support Southlands many programs.

As a 501 (c) 3 charitable organization with a 40-year track record, all donations are tax deductible to the extent of the law.

YOUR DONATION HELPS US PRESERVE, EDUCATE, SUSTAIN AND CARE

PRESERVE

Your support helps preserve our 200 acres of land in the beautiful Hudson Valley for future generations. Southlands is open to the public for miles of trails to ride or walk.

EDUCATE

Your donation supports our mission to provide a connection to the community and to cultivate respect and love for the land and its animals through education, conservation and outdoor recreation.

Every year Southlands and a few caring individuals offer full camp scholarships to local school children who would not normally be exposed to the world of horses.  The summer camp experience not only teaches riding and horsemanship skills, but also lays the groundwork for kindness, discipline, responsibility, and respect in those who participate.

SUSTAIN

Your contributions to our horse programs helps continue our founder, Deborah Dows, legacy to teach horseback riding, horsemanship, and the care of horses to adults and children who may not have the opportunity. Funds are used to maintain our horse stables, indoor and outdoor riding arenas, and equipment. 

CARE

Southlands horses receive the finest medical attention and care. Your conribution to a Southlands horse or pony supports their routine farrier and veterinary care.
