We Can Ride

As the oldest and largest Therapeutic Riding Program in Minnesota, We Can Ride has been changing lives since 1982. Our mission is to connect humans and horses to transform the lives of individuals with disabilities and meet the evolving needs of our greater community.

It’s not about what disabilities or challenges our riders face, but rather what their abilities are and how they can be discovered through therapeutic horseback riding and other equine assisted activities.

The Rochester Mutual Aid Network

The Rochester Mutual Aid Network began as a crisis response to the COVID-19 pandemic. When the pandemic hit, and the quarantine orders began, they hit a city that was already in crisis; poverty, homelessness, gentrification, and layoffs had already been a feature of life in Rochester for years. The COVID-19 crisis and the turmoil it would bring would only exacerbate the foundational problems we were facing as a city.

Drawing on the long tradition of mutual aid, we started the Network to help our community sustain itself. Our task was simple in concept: connect those in need of aid with those who can offer it. Our community is vast and diverse, and through organizing we believe we can not only sustain our community through this pandemic, but grow a Network that will help our community thrive after this crisis is behind us. The Network is run democratically and transparently, composed exclusively of volunteers working together to create something resilient that will strengthen our community.

GLAD

Since 1978, GLAD’s bold litigation has achieved scores of precedent-setting victories on behalf of LGBTQ+ people and those living with HIV.
A school community embraces a transgender teacher; a lesbian couple gets married in Texas; a gay teenager is treated with love by his foster family; a Ugandan activist gets asylum in the US; a worker living with HIV keeps his job. Because of GLAD.

Each time GLAD argues a case or tackles an issue, we tear down more outdated laws and stereotypes that have denied LGBTQ+ people and people living with HIV basic protections and opportunities in every area of daily life.

Tennyson Center for Children

Tennyson Center for Children has served Colorado’s most neglected, abused, and traumatized children since 1904. We are known for our high standard of care across all our programs and services. These services include an accredited, Therapeutic K-12 School and Day Treatment Program with a 4:1 student-to-staff ratio on our campus and in-home and Community Programs in 12 counties across the state to provide preventive services and therapy to strengthen families with children aged 0 to adulthood.

At Tennyson, our goal is to keep families strong and keep them together. We provide an array of community services that aims to do exactly that by creating access to therapy, skills building, and resource connection. We offer support and therapy to kids and families across Colorado – and beyond.

The ALS Association

ALS takes away the freedom to walk, to talk, to run and dance. To laugh. To hug. To eat. To breathe. We fight to give that independence back – and help empower people to live life to the fullest.

We are leading the way in global research and helping 20,000 Americans living with ALS. Your gift today will help find a cure for ALS, while providing care and support to families right here in your community.

Compass Family Services

At Compass Family Services, we’re passionate about helping homeless and at-risk families become stably housed, emotionally and physically healthy, and economically self-sufficient. Compass was founded in 1914 as Travelers’ Aid San Francisco to provide assistance to the 18.5 million newcomers who visited the city of San Francisco for the 1915 World’s Fair. Since then, our history has followed the trajectory of San Francisco’s history, serving the most vulnerable populations during the Great Depression, World War II, immigrants and refugees from Asia in the 1950’s, and homeless youth during and after the Summer of Love.

Today, while helping families secure long-term housing, Compass Family Services provides the most comprehensive range of support services designed specifically for those in distress.
