If you would like to extend your support of EATSF to leave a lasting impact, there are several gift arrangements from which you can choose. Unless otherwise noted, all legacy gifts will be placed into endowments for the continuing stewardship of our herd of horses or provide scholarship opportunities so that every individual is able to participate.
Ways to Leave a Legacy Gift

- Set up a charitable trust or annuity that will provide for both your family and EATSF.
Donors may designate their legacy gift to one of the following endowed funds:
- Dr. Jerry H. Rudnick Herd Stewardship Fund: The Dr. Jerry H. Rudnick Herd Stewardship Fund has been created in memory of our longtime veterinarian to ensure that the horses who provide such a valuable service to the community receive the best care we can provide. Annual endowment fund distributions will be used for all costs related to the care, feeding, and continued stewardship of our horse herd.
- Rider Scholarship Fund: The Rider Scholarship Fund has been created to ensure that our programs remain affordable for all. Annual endowment fund distributions are used to provide scholarships for families that would otherwise be unable to afford this valuable alternative therapy.
- Stanley & Carol Zeitchick Children’s Fund: The Stanley & Carol Zeitchick Children’s Fund will provide scholarships to children age 4-18 for equine programs and the Summer Riding Camp for individuals with special needs. This newly created fund has not yet reached its endowment threshold of $250,000.
