One snowstorm or sick horse throws countless more hours onto what is an almost impossible schedule to maintain. But we do maintain FOR THE HORSES.

We need your support. We are giving everything we have to give every single day. Please donate so we can purchase the feed and supplies the horses NEED now and tomorrow. Please look to the future with us. We will need you then too! And if you have a horse, please plan his future should you leave earth early. We can only help the horses if caring individuals continue to help us along the way.

LEAVE A LEGACY !

A gift to Amaryllis Farm Equine Rescue (AFER) from your estate can insure the long-term success of our efforts while providing to you and your heirs substantial benefits!

Help the horses in many different ways:

Matching Gifts: Many companies have matching gift programs that can double or triple your contribution. Ask your employer if they will match your individual gift to AFER.

Honorary or Memorial Gifts:
Honor someone special to you with a memorial gift to AFER. An animal or person for any occasion. Perhaps a memorial donation in honor of a loved one who crossed the rainbow bridge. Helping a horse in need is a great way to allow the memory of your loved one live on.

We accept donations of cars, horse trailers, farm equipment, office equipment that can be used or sold by AFER to benefit the horses. Please see our wish list for items we need!

Life Insurance:
Naming AFER as the beneficiary of an old life insurance policy that is no longer needed to protect your family is a simple way of making a large gift. You will benefit from a potential income tax deduction (check with your tax attorney).

Gift of Stock: Stocks and other gifts of investment assets such as mutual funds provide an opportunity for a tax savings while supporting AFER.

Charitable Lead Trust - This trust makes payments, either a fixed amount (annuity trust) or a percentage of trust principal (unitrust), to charity during it's term. At the end of the trust term, the principal can either go back to you (a grantor lead trust) or to heirs named by you (a non-grantor lead trust). You may claim a charitable income tax deduction for funding a grantor lead trust or a charitable gift tax deduction for funding a non-grantor lead trust. Since lead trusts are typically used to pass assets to heirs, non-grantor lead trusts are far more common than grantor lead trusts.

Bequest - When you decide to leave assets to charity in your will, you are making a bequest. Your estate will receive a charitable estate tax deduction at your death, when the gift is made to AFER.

Retained Life Estate- You may make a gift of your personal residence or FARM, to charity and retain the right to live there for the remainder of your life. You receive an immediate income tax deduction for the gift. At your death, the charity can use or sell the property.

Donate your old car, boat, trailer, camper...we can turn anything into life sustaining feed and veterinarian care for the rescued horses!

Gold: Send in your old gold! Let us spin that gold into feed money for the horses! Gold is at an all time high and so are our feed bills. We can send you a tax deduction for the exact amount your items bring!

Buy and Sell on eBay for [Amaryllisfarmequinerescueinc]
Our Ebay Store: "amaryllisfarmequinerescueinc" If you have an item which could sell on Ebay and turn into feed money for the horses PLEASE contact Christine@aHorseRescue.com

Send in your old ink cartridges and cell phones! We are collecting them to raise funds for the small animals residing here. The ducks, chickens, pigs, birds, bunnies, cats and dogs all need to eat too.

THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS YOU CAN HELP!

First of all, we don’t ever want anyone to feel that ANY donation is too small. Donations are what keep Amaryllis going! If 20 people send in only $5.00, we can

feed a horse for 10 days! Those small donations coming in regularly are what keep us afloat!

Secondly, public awareness is so critical to the horses and their future. So many people are unaware of the inhumane conditions these animals endure, and how many are sent to slaughter each and every week. We feel that educating the public is the only way to one day halt this terrible fate for them. We need regional groups formed in different locations across Long Island to hold meetings and plan small fundraisers and lecture series so that we can accomplish this goal. Please contact us if you can get involved in your own community! We can direct you to people who have done it successfully for some tips on getting started.

Get the kids involved!! Kids love horses and all animals, and they have had a huge impact in our fundraising efforts. They are also the future, and early knowledge is the key to a promising tomorrow. Your local High School can form an ANIMAL RESCUE CLUB. This has been done by the Cold Spring Harbor Jr./Sr. High School, and the club has really taken off. There are many different avenues for fund-raising at that level. Kids love to hold bake sales, run a car wash, have a massive garage sale, and sell candies at sporting events. The profits raised go to animal rescue organizations, and the kids get much desired leadership roles and community service hours for their college application resumes!

The smaller kids can hold a “trot-a-thon” at their school. They get sponsors and they have a certain number of laps that they will trot or walk in order to raise money. We have a program in place for this school-wide event. Contact us for details.

In short, there are unlimited ways that you can help! The level of commitment on your part is up to you! We need volunteers, and your creativity can help us to provide a future for the horses.

If you have ideas, we are happy to hear them!
