Donating to Make a Difference

Because we are 100% donation based, your donation to Minis and Friends helps us continue our community work.

Donations can be sent to:

Minis and Friends

P.O.Box 91704

Austin, TX 78709

Our goal in 2008 is not to require a suggested donation from any facility or school we visit. Instead we want to find creative ways to raise the funds necessary to keep the minis on the road. Donations raised cover expenses for gasoline and maintenance on our vehicles (to get the little guys to work), farrier, grooming supplies, shelter/boarding costs, veterinarian (shots/health certificate) costs, feed and hay, halters and leashes, fly masks and summer sheets (or winter blankets), and much much more that go into the daily caretaking of our mini ambassadors.

Not one volunteer is paid at Minis and Friends and 100% of your donation goes back to the minis.

For more information, email us.

We also accept in kind donations!

After talking to our minis, we've discovered they've got a few wishes for some goodies to help them accomplish their mission! Below is their wish list:

Winter blankets with tail cover and buckles to keep us dry and protect us from rain and wind (www.sstack.com - mini size)

Fly masks and fly sheets for miniature horses

Hay - Coastal is preferred in squares. Round bales accepted.

Feed - WellSolve L/S by Purina for us overweight minis or Platform Miniature Horse feed designed specially for us little guys to keep us healthy throughout the year.

Boarding fees - Our friends where we board some of our minis give us reduced boarding, but we're looking for new friends to cover the remaining cost.

Gas/Fuel/Gift Cards - to pay for the gas to take us to a visit or event. Can send check or purchase at your local gas station to send to Minis and Friends.

Insurance coverage - equine and liability insurance to cover during visits and events - annual cost is $700- a sponsorship would be very helpful and let us save our funds for mini visits in the community.

Pasture Grass Seeds or HydroSeeding - some of us minis go home to our friends on weekends, so our humans need turf grass seed - such as Bermuda or Buffalo Grass - to plant in their yards so we can munch nonstop!

If you can help with an in kind donation, we would be eternally grateful. We have creative ways to express our thanks for a win-win situation for everyone.

For a major donation, ie. minivan, truck or trailer, we will add your company's name to the vehicle itself plus all of the above, as well as to our fliers and handouts and our sponsor list.
