Mission and programs · 2024

• Equine Assisted Peer Support Youth Program (EAYPS) - The EAYPS program is a therapeutic early intervention recovery-based 6-week course. It is offered through a partnership with the Thurston County Juvenile Court, Thurston County Treatment Sales Tax Program, and community partners to accept referrals of your (ages 9-17) who are receiving services through any civil or offender program and have demonstrated symptoms of mental illness and/or substance use. During sessions, the adolescents work through a curriculum that is designed around twelve core values which are learned metaphorically through interactions with the horses. We serve between 32-56 youth in this program annually.

  Expenses $77,094 · Revenue $63,740

• The Next Mission - The Next Mission is a 6-week recovery-based course offered to veterans and active-duty military personnel modeled off our youth program (EAYPS). Our referral sources include Joint Base Lewis McCord and their Soldier Recovery Unit, Thurston County Veterans Services, mental health providers, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and Washington State National Guard. The participants work through a curriculum that focuses on twelve core values which are learned metaphorically through interactions with the horses. We serve 6-8 participants in each cohort and aim to provide at least four cohorts per year depending on funding availability. This program primarily serves participants from Thurston, Pierce, and Kitsap counties, though we are working on expanding to other neighboring counties with their Veterans Courts.

  Expenses $52,800 · Revenue $17,433

• Operation THRIVE - Operation THRIVE is a three-day weekend intensive course that is offered to veterans, active-duty military personnel and first responders suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS). During the first day, participants are encouraged to invite their families to the ranch to share dinner and learn about the basics of horsemanship. The next two days provide our participants time to work directly with the horses to develop a partnership based on mutual respect and shared goals. Because individuals with PTSD often have difficulty trusting and feeling a connection with others, partnering with the horses helps them effectively break down barriers encountered with traditional approaches of counseling and PTSD programs. We typically serve 12-15 participants in each weekend clinic. This program serves participants from across Washington State.

  Expenses $42,708 · Revenue $17,250

• Equine Assisted Peer Support (FRC EAPS) - This program is a 6-week recovery-based course modeled off our youth program (EAYPS) and is offered to participants in Thurston County's therapeutic courts (Family Recovery Court, Drug/DUI Court, and Mental Health and Veterans Court). The participants work through a curriculum that focuses on core values, parenting skills, and general life functioning which are learned metaphorically through interactions with the horses. We serve roughly 20-25 participants in this program annually. Heartstrides also offers regularly scheduled programs to adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. This program is modeled off of our youth program (EAYPS) and incorporates core values and horsemanship lessons.In addition to the more regularly scheduled programs, Heartstrides offers team-building activities, corporate and leadership retreats, women's retreats, field trips, and private peer support sessions.

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.
