Dogwood Ranch Corporation

In 2023, our healing reins equine therapy program served 108 unique clients. We continued to work with our primary targeted populations including current and former foster children/youth, military veterans and their families, domestic violence survivors and other trauma survivors. Upon completing our 12-week equine therapy program, 97% of our clients reported a reduction in anxiety, 96% reported having improved emotional regulation and 73% reported an increase in hope/motivation for the future. We are so thankful for the continued healing and hope that healing reins provides to our most fragile populations.

The haven transitional living program housed, mentored and supported 7 female residents in 2022 and their 2 minor children. Working with single moms has been particularly rewarding as we have helped them gain stability in their day-to-day life, positively impacting their employment, financial goals and emotional well-being. This has in turn helped them parent their children more successfully and maintain their independent living skills. We are proud to share that 130 treatment goals were set by our residents in 2023. 100 of those goals were met. This means that 77% of our residents' goals were accomplished/completed Dogwood Ranch was able to maintain our primary staff, allowing us to continue serving and meeting the needs of our community. We continued to partner with multiple local agencies by way of referrals, support and combining fundraising/awareness efforts together. Additionally, our ceo continued to serve on a governor appointed foster parent advisory board where she represents her region in swmo and is currently the sitting chair of that board. Additionally, we are glad to report that Dogwood Ranch was able to add 48 new donors in 2023 (and an additional 59 new potential donors who attended a Dogwood event for the first time). We also logged over 4,000 volunteer hours throughout the year.
