Ways to Give

Student Scholarships

StirrUp Purpose is committed to providing affordable Horsemanship lessons to our special needs community. However, many of our families struggle to put food on the table and the additional expense of $35 per weekly lesson is not feasible. Additionally, our low lesson fees are a fraction of the actual cost of providing that lesson.


Please help us to reach those low income students needing to find purpose and healing through Therapeutic Horsemanship!

  •  $140 supports a student for one month of lessons
  •  $840 supports a student for 6 months of lessons
  •  $1,680 supports a student for one year of lessons
