Bear Valley Rescue is a registered Canadian charity. (Charity #861219970RR0001) 2011 tax receipts have been mailed. If you made a donation in 2011 and haven't received your tax receipt by mid-Feb at the latest, please let us know and we'll send you another copy. THANK YOU to all our donors! We aren't always able to thank you individually, but please be assured your donations, no matter what amount, are greatly appreciated. Those giving through 'Canada Helps' as well, even though we don't issue the tax receipt, we would like to acknowledge your gift here with heartfelt thanks. We are eligible for grants through the Government of Alberta Community Spirit Program - We receive a proportional share of the grant pool based on the cash donations we receive during the year! The amount of grant we receive through the Community Spirit Program is based solely on the amount of private cash donations we receive; if you are a resident of Alberta, you can also receive back 50% of your donation through tax credits - it's a WIN/WIN for us all.
Please consider making a one-time or monthly donation to help us look after the horses. Below is a form you can print off and distribute to your 'horsey' or 'animal-loving' friends to help spread the word and to help us generate some badly needed funds. Currently our hay alone costs us approximately $40,000 per year, not to mention the vet, grain, fencing and pasture costs! - Click here for the printable Sponsorship Form Also you may want to consider fostering or sponsoring one of our permanent residents. We can keep you updated on their progress, send pictures, and, if you're close enough, you can come out any time and visit with them! Unfortunately we're not set up to process donations by credit card, so if you'd like to make a donation by credit card or to set up a monthly contribution please use the 'Canada Helps' button or donate through Paypal. We are currently raising funds for: Hay Fund - over $40,000 per year! Foster Horses Support Fund - $5,000 per year (Special feed and vet costs for the old guys. We currently have approximately 10 horses on mash.) These figures are estimates based on budget figures only. 100% of ALL donations received goes directly to the rescue and the care of the horses. Where a specific fund has not been allocated, the donation will be applied to general operating expenses related specifically to the care of the horses (of which there is no shortage): vet fees, feed & supplements, farrier, etc.
