Deborah Dows created the Southlands Foundation in 1983 to preserve her lands, care for the animals, and continue the development of individuals of all ages. Your membership helps us to provide for the care of equine friends that includes feed, shoes, bedding, and veterinary care. Membership also helps us to maintain the extensive grounds and buildings of our facility.

We never lose sight of our mission, nor our responsibilities as a not-for-profit 501(c) 3 entity. Your support is fundamental to our success. Your membership contributions are an acknowledgement of your belief in and support for our Mission: to provide a historical and agrarian connection to the community, and to cultivate a respect and love for the land and its animals through education, conservation, and outdoor recreation.

We qualify for many corporate matching gift programs, please ask your HR department if your company has these programs!

Our membership year begins on June 1.
