SUPPORTING RED HORSE
Red Horse is working year-round to contribute to equitable access to programming for mental health, wellness and workplace culture. This work is supported from ongoing giving through grants, donations and sponsorships. We have three support drives in the year, where our voice and request is amplified by National campaigns and events. These support drives, featured on our donate page, have unique goals, participation perks, and partners. They may collect support in different platforms than our evergreen links. Thanks for your support.
