What Equestrian Dreams for Youth Foundation Inc does
Mission
To provide stimulating education, recreational and academic experience for under privileged juveniles wishing to learn about horses in their environment.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Many children dream of having the opportunity to experience the joy of spending time with horses. Horses are known to have a positive therapeutic effect on individuals in a range of areas, including mental, physical and emotional enrichment. Due to the costs involved, many families are prohibited from experiencing this dream. EDY offers a solution by providing groups and youths access to horses for one day events. A day at EDY Ranch typically consists of mini clinics that address all aspects of the horse. The experience begins with a brief lesson on safety, grooming, feeding and the anatomy of the horse. The day is intended to be one of interaction with animals, nature and each other, learning about horse care and experiencing the love and special connection between humans and horses. EDY endeavors to return to a simpler time of life. We believe it is important to get outdoors and reconnect with ourselves, animals and nature.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $28k to $199k (+607%).
