Lasting Impact
Legacy Giving
Your gift of stocks, mutual funds, or a bequest creates a powerful legacy that will echo across the sanctuary's 11,000 acres for generations. These special contributions ensure that wild horses will continue to run free long into the future, preserving both Dayton O. Hyde's vision and America's living heritage.
Gifts of stock or mutual funds
Donating appreciated securities directly to the sanctuary can provide significant tax advantages while making a meaningful impact. These gifts help us maintain crucial habitat, provide essential care for our herds, and continue our conservation mission.
