What Manes and Miracles does
Mission
To provide adaptive recreational and equine-assisted therapy programs to individuals with special needs.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
We launched our adaptive programs to provide both mounted and unmounted horsemanship lessons tailored to the unique needs, goals, and abilities of children with developmental, cognitive, and emotional disabilities. These lessons build confidence, strength, coordination, and meaningful social connections. With the support of a certified instructor and dedicated volunteers, the program utilized donor and grant- funded scholarships to deliver 244 safe, structured, and inclusive adaptive horsemanship experiences for children who otherwise may not have access to this type of therapeutic support.

Our inaugural summer camps offered single-day and multi-day experiences focused on horsemanship, socialemotional learning, and ranch-based STEM activities, creating meaningful opportunities for growth, friendship, and independence. We also began the initial development of Barnyard Book Club, an innovative literacy program that uses the calming presence of our therapy animals to help children, especially those with learning delays, discover joy and confidence in reading. These initiatives reflect our commitment to expanding access to transformative, whole-child enrichment for families in our community.

By partnering each child with a specially trained therapeutic horse, we harnessed the horses natural movement and motivation to accelerate gains in strength, balance, mobility, endurance, communication, and overall independence. Three licensed therapists, supported by 72 volunteers serving over 354 hours, and 9 specially trained horses, worked together to deliver measurable therapeutic gains in 170 therapy sessions. Scholarships ensured that children with financial barriers could fully participate in these life-changing services.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 2023 to 2024, from $52k to $139k (+169%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2024 53% · 2025 24%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
92% of MANES AND MIRACLES’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (82% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $141 → $10k.
1 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 11% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of MANES AND MIRACLES’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
MANES AND MIRACLES leans on a few funders — its largest provides 59% of grant income and the top three 88%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
69% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund MANES AND MIRACLES.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 95% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
87% of MANES AND MIRACLES's grant income comes from Arizona funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
