The Warrior Dog Foundation transitions our country’s working K9s from an operational environment into retirement. 

The Warrior Dog Foundation transitions our country’s working K9s from an operational environment into retirement. Providing mental and physical rehabilitation, and rehoming options to Military Working Dogs (MWD), Contract Working Dogs (CWD) and Law Enforcement K9s that otherwise would be euthanized.

The Warrior Dog Foundation exists to provide the highest level of retirement care to working dogs who have dedicated their lives to serving our country and communities! We provide mental and physical rehabilitation to these four-legged veterans so they can be adopted into a forever home; if this is not possible, they are cared for by us for the rest of their lives. We want to see all military, contract, and law enforcement dogs who are no longer able to work rehabilitated and rehomed – our goal is to help them retire with dignity. These heroes have endured intense situations, saved lives, and protected our service personnel and our freedoms. Yet like many human veterans, they return home with physical and mental injuries. Because these special dogs may have a bite history, aggression, and other traits that render them unadoptable, they are often euthanized. They deserve better! We take these K9s in and help them heal so they can transition to civilian life and live out the rest of their retirement in peace.

Dedicated to serving veterans—and to medical research, advocacy and civil rights for all people with disabilities.

Paralyzed Veterans was originally founded by a band of service members who came home from World War II with spinal cord injuries. They returned to a grateful nation, but also to a world with few solutions to the major challenges they faced.

The Independence Fund's mission is to empower our severely wounded Veterans and their Caregivers to take control of their lives.

Founded in 2007, The Independence Fund is committed to empowering our nation’s catastrophically wounded, injured, or ill Veterans to overcome physical, mental, and emotional wounds incurred in the line of duty. We are dedicated to improving the lives of both our Veterans and their families. Through our Mobility, Caregiver, Advocacy, Casework, Operation RESILIENCY, Independence@Home and Family programs, The Independence Fund strives to bridge the gap of unmet needs for Veterans and their Caregivers.  

We provide the resources and tools that enable Veterans to regain their independence, and fight for their ability to sustain it.  The Independence fund assists severely wounded Veterans of any era, Caregivers, and the entire wounded Veteran family.  The whole family approach allows for the best chance at sustained success in the Veteran's recovery.

Our programs:
Mobility
Many severely wounded Veterans have lost the ability to experience activities they previously enjoyed. Veterans who use our all-terrain mobility devices regain the ability to do the things they love, transforming their lives toward a better future.

Adaptive Sports
By inviting Veterans to participate in sporting events, providing funding for adaptive equipment, and granting funds for Veteran adaptive sports organizations, our Adaptive Sports Program gives Veterans the opportunity to improve their well-being.

Caregivers
The Independence Fund serves the heroes behind the heroes: the Caregivers who work tirelessly to support wounded Veterans day-in and day-out. We give Caregivers the means to build strong networks and receive the support they need.

Advocacy
For Veterans returning with the scars of war, the fight doesn’t end upon their arrival home. Unfortunately, some of the biggest battles are with the very institutions who are supposed to be on their side. We are fighting for those who fought for us! 

Heroes at Home

We provide snowsports for people with disabilities at Eldora Mountain Resort in Nederland Colorado. 

Our mission is to ignite personal growth, independence, and confidence in people with disabilities by providing adaptive winter snowsports opportunities.

Our History
In the 1970’s, ten passionate University of Colorado students saw an opportunity to enhance the lives of other CU students with disabilities, by providing them access to Colorado’s great winter sport of skiing. In 1975, this dedicated group gained permission from Eldora Mountain Resort to create an Alpine Adaptive Skiing program for ten athletes with disabilities. Since then, Ignite Adaptive Sports (formerly Eldora Special Recreation Program ESRP) has grown into a volunteer team of over 230 people serving over 300 athletes each year.

Today, outdoor sports enthusiasts of all ages and disabilities are welcome to take part in our nationally recognized program. Our dedicated team donates between 15,000 – 20,000 hours (worth more than $350,000 according to The Independent Sector) of their time and energy each year to provide private snow sport lessons to hundreds of people living with disabilities in Colorado. This includes wounded active duty and military veterans served through a US Paralympic Military Program Ignite developed in 2009, in collaboration with the U.S. Olympic Committee.

While other adaptive winter sport programs exist in Colorado, Ignite is the only comprehensive program located along the Front Range and the only program accessible by RTD’s public transportation system.

Our Work
All of us at Ignite believe everyone should be able to enjoy winter sports regardless of skill or ability level. We provide the best possible winter sports experience to each athlete we serve.

Our current offerings include alpine and cross-country skiing, snowboarding, ski biking, and snowshoeing opportunities. Full and half-day snow-sport lessons run from January through March and are held Thursdays through Sundays.

Our Athletes
Outdoor sports enthusiasts of all ages and ability level are welcome to take part in Ignite’s nationally recognized program. Ignite’s athletes range in age from 5 to almost 90 and have varying disabilities, including autism, cerebral palsy, missing limbs, paralysis, visual impairments, and post-traumatic stress disorder, with many experiencing more than one type of disability.

Our Volunteers
Volunteers are the key to Ignite Adaptive Sports’ success. They provide 100 percent of our lessons and support all other aspects of the organization – from program management to fundraising – contributing over 15,000 hours of their time, talent and energy, providing over 1,300 individual lessons to more than 200 people living with disabilities. Many Ignite volunteers have family members or friends who participate in the program and return to Ignite year after year.

Our mission is to lower the suicide rate and prevent homelessness in the veteran population.  

Formerly known as Operation Combat Bikesaver. Our flagship program is what we call "Hotrod Therapy," which teaches veterans the skills and techniques to rebuild an old beat up motorcycle and create the bike of their dreams.  Through this distractive therapy veterans also get to work through their problems and end up "rebuilding" themselves as well.  We have seen some great men and women go through incredible changes in this program.  The veteran then gets to keep their project at no cost, and they usually end up sticking around to help mentor the next veteran through the process.  
While we are most known for our Hotrod Therapy program, we offer a variety of programs to improve the lives of veterans that served their country.  The "On Your Feet" program helps veterans going through hard times.  Our weekly veteran peer support group "Lima Charlie" meets every Thursday and gives veterans a safe space to workshop their problems with like-minded individuals who have been through similar experiences.  Our F.A.T. Program, or "Fitness and Tranquility" helps veterans to live a healthy, active, and peaceful lifestyle, which can be an adjustment to some.  Just to name a few.
100% of your donation goes to helping veterans, whether that be a part for their motorcycle build, getting them a safe ride to work in the morning, or enabling them to make positive impact in their community.  
We do not believe in just "raising awareness."  People are definitely aware.  We are making a positive impact.

Feeding Pets of the Homeless® believes in the healing power of pets. 

Mission Statement
Feeding Pets of the Homeless® believes in the healing power of companion pets and of the human/animal bond, which is very important in the lives of many homeless. They find solace, protection and companionship through their pets. They care for their pets on limited resources so they themselves have less. Our task, nationwide, is to feed and provide basic emergency veterinary care to their pets and thus relieve the anguish and anxiety of the homeless who cannot provide for their pets.

History
Several years ago, our founder, Genevieve, and her husband visited New York City. They saw a homeless man with his beautiful healthy, mixed breed dog at his side. He wasn’t panhandling. She had always ignored the homeless but this time, something was different. She couldn’t get that dog out of her mind.

She tried to imagine what brought the man to be homeless. Was it drugs, alcoholism? That’s the conclusion most people make about the homeless. This man didn’t look like an addict, and she wondered why and how he got to where he was in life. And, what about his dog? It was obvious the dog was devoted to the man. He was not on a leash and could have run away at any time. She was confused about why anyone homeless, who could barely feed or take care of themselves, would even consider having a pet.

When she returned home, she researched the homeless with pets and came across the “National Coalition for the Homeless.” At the time, their estimates indicated that 3.5 million people in America were homeless and that between 5%-10% of homeless have dogs and/or cats. In some areas of the country, the rate is as high as 25%. Most people who experience homelessness are homeless for a short period and usually need help to find housing or a rent subsidy. Unfortunately for those with pets, it becomes more difficult, and many homeless are forced to choose between their pet and a roof over their head. Surprisingly, most choose to stay on the streets with their pets. Why? The answer became evident to Genevieve. Their pets are nonjudgmental; provide comfort and an emotional bond of loyalty. In some cases, they provide the homeless with protection and keep them warm.

Genevieve’s family has almost always had dogs and cats, which made her wonder, what would she do if faced with homelessness? Could she give up her pets? It felt equal to giving up her children. While they would possibly be better off emotionally, it would be a devastating decision to make because of the comfort and unconditional love they give.

It was one of those “ah-ha” moments when she realized that she could do something for those pets. And so began Feeding Pets of the Homeless®. 

Donors have told us over the years that they feel such compassion for the pets of the homeless but were afraid to approach due to safety concerns and welcomed the opportunity our organization give for a safe and easy way to help. 

That one day in New York changed Genevieve’s life. It created a passion she did not know she held that utilized her past education, life experiences, and careers to start this unique nonprofit. Each day, she looks forward to knowing that Feeding Pets of the Homeless® is providing pet food and veterinary care to the hundreds of thousands of pets that wander the streets with their owners. And she looks forward to each day knowing that we can assist the calls from the homeless or about to be homeless.

The homeless with pets are often desperate to find a shelter to go to that will allow their pets. They seek help to find an agency that will give them pet food. They are frantic to find emergency veterinary care for injuries or illnesses.

Next time you see a homeless person with a pet, think of Genevieve’s story. Please share it with your friends and consider donating to our organization. Such donations help pay for emergency care, wellness clinics, and pet crates for homeless shelters. Check to see if there is a pet food and supplies donation site in your community. If there isn’t, consider helping us to get one started.

Thank you for your interest and support,

Genevieve Frederick

Feeding Pets of the Homeless

Dedicated to the preservation of our most valued and uniquely American resources: our US Veterans and our American Wild Mustangs.

Headquartered at Shiloh Ranch in Nevada, we are dedicated to the preservation and wellbeing of our most valued and uniquely American resources, Our US Veterans and our American Wild Mustangs.

Working with advocacy groups and the Bureau of Land Management, we strive to find new ways to eliminate and mitigate the abuse and slaughter of the American Wild Mustang. We take as many mustangs as possible from BLM, bring them to our ranch and begin the process of training them and preparing them for service and purpose, which could range from trail horse, backyard pet, ranch work and law enforcement.

At The Liberty Projects we are dedicated to empowering our veterans. From simple service solutions like resumes or paperwork help to legal assistance and mental health therapy, we provide the means to be the you that you want to be. We are always striving to make a difference, and invite you to learn more and lend your support.

By aligning the unique skills of veterans with wild mustangs, our goal is to promote great opportunities for both groups. With access to the right resources, people and horses become empowered by their own abilities and are able to live their best life. 

For over 20 years the driving force behind The Liberty Projects, JP Hoffman, a service-disabled veteran, informally tried to help vets where needed, from transitioning to civilian life to getting assistance with VA benefits applications or facilitating disability ratings status. It started small as friends would call JP about a son or daughter and then through word of mouth the phone calls increased. JP used his contacts in the VA system, American Legion and VFW to try and assist when and where he could.
A close childhood friend of JP’s named Nick, whom he has known since grade school, sadly committed suicide in 2018.

Nick not only joined the military with JP but succeeded beyond all expectations. While in the military Nick attended medical school, then went from enlisted man to OCS (Officer Candidate School) to become an officer and medical doctor.

In 2017 he achieved the rank of Full Bird Colonel. Nick was actually JP’s primary care physician and they spent time together 3 days prior to Nick’s death. This pivotal event sparked the Liberty Projects. JP has seen too much death and suicide with our veterans and was determined to prevent this tragedy from happening when possible.

​JP is a Master Farrier with a background in ranching, agriculture, rodeo and horse training. His skills and knowledge led he and family to adopt and train wild mustangs in an effort to help where they could. Ideally, it was to show traditional horsemen and women as well as ranchers that the wild mustang is an extremely valuable asset not be so easily dismissed. JP's family and friends would bring vets to the ranch almost by accident where they seemed to gravitate to the horses. They began the process of integrating these vets with the horses and other animals at their ranch. Working with close friends and experts on holistic healing, JP and his close friend Laura Perry formed “The Liberty Projects”. They assembled the best and brightest in alternative wellness programs, equine training and management and veteran advocates to round out the board.

We offer a variety of services for veterans currently:

Disability Rating Re-Evaluations - Many people of unaware that when veterans are medically discharged from active duty they are assigned a disability rating that coincides with the veteran's ability to obtain and maintain employment.  The ratings are from 10% to 100%.  Which could mean a couple of hundred dollars per month to a maximum of around $3000 per month.  One of the inherent problems with this type of system is that when you are young and strong, injuries (physical and/or mental) may not show up for many years or decades. The Dept of Defense through the VA has a path to request an increase in the percentage of disability with a request from the veteran.

This process is handled by a 3rd party medical group. The process includes interviews, reevaluations of medical records, deep dives into personal matters, and takes a long time to complete.  The problem is that most veterans give up long before an increase is granted and most claims on the initial application are denied.
What we do:
We assist in the preparation of all paperwork and documentation. This is done with our team at Shiloh Ranch. Our staff volunteers who are veterans and actually retired from the VA work with the individuals to ensure all paperwork and background information is complete and organized in a manner that ensures the most timely responses back from the Government.

We role-play the various scenarios that can play out during the interview process, which seem to be designed to make a veteran either give up on the process or get them flustered.  This is customized for each case.

While no one other than the veteran is allowed in the appointment. We actually transport the veteran to the appointment, wait in the lobby and then after the appointment, we encourage them to stay at the ranch for a day or two afterward as re-living traumatic events tend to stick around for minute. We find the ranch is a great way to ease the mind.

BrainPaint - While a neurofeedback program can be an effective tool for anyone we exclusively offer at no charge a complete program for veterans. The program takes between 45 and 60 sessions to effectively complete.

For additional information:  www.brainpaint.com

We at the Liberty Projects have a Neurofeedback system and have 2 trained technicians. 

The Brainpaint system has shown to be as or more effective than sessions with trained counselors in addressing the severety of PSTD symptons.  The primary benefit is that the participant does not have to talk or re-live traumatic events, all while receiving the benefits of a full counseling session.

The brainpaint sessions are all performed at the ranch in a private office.

Sweats for Vets - True, traditional sweat lodge ceremony lead by our tribal partners.

Equine Therapy - There is no doubt that horses are very similar to humans. We both form bonds, we maintain family units, and we are sensitive to the emotions and feelings of others. Equine therapy has helped veterans for over a decade, and we believe in it too. Some veterans may even prefer to work with horses over humans. Sometimes we don't blame them. We offer multiple paths to achieving knowledge in working with horses. Whether for personal enjoyment and trail riding to more advanced work such as horse training and/or learning how to: shoe horses, team rope, team pen, showing, reigning etc. For our beginners we start with learning horse anatomy, to riding properly and with confidence, proper use of equipment, care etc.

Thank you for taking your valuable time to learn about us. We lose an average of 22 veterans to suicide each day. We need your help to stop the suicides but also to help our veterans live fulfilling lives they deserve. The more horses we can save helps create the revenue to provide more and broader services to our veterans. Our veterans deserve more than what we as a country are providing them. There are 50,000 veteran based charities in the United States. The curious would ask why we need so many private citizens helping our military. The cold hard answer is that the Government doesn't care. They won't care...and its getting worse. 

We are a young charity that has been operating for a very long time on a shoestring. We organized to be able to do more with the help of generous folk like yourself. Our board is volunteer. Our personnel are volunteer. 100% of all donations go to work for our veterans and our mustangs. Two board members have even dedicated 100% of corporate profits from their separate nutraceutical line to this charity (www.gosonsofliberty.com). We are 100% all in. Can we count on you? 

God Bless America and her people. 

The Liberty Projects, Inc

We are a community clinic providing affordable & accessible psychedelic-assisted therapies plus education, training, and research.

ABOUT US:
Sequoia Center was founded as a response to the growing disparity between the need for psychedelic-assisted therapies and access to affordable and relevant services. As for-profit retreat centers continue to proliferate across the country, many people who are most in need of psychedelic services find them financially out of reach. Our goal is to remedy this growing gap by pouring our funding directly into the services we provide, as an investment in our community.

To ensure that the future of psychedelic-assisted services is ethical, accessible, and evidence-based, we value conducting outcomes research (client opt-in only!) in addition to providing services to the community. We aim to help the larger psychedelic ecosystem define best practices, develop clear ethical standards, train new practitioners, and educate the public.

Our current service offerings include ketamine-assisted psychotherapy as well as psychedelic preparation and integration services.  We specialize in individualized treatment planning and care coordination (with organizations within and outside the 'healthcare system'), so that *all* clients who wish to access psychedelic services can receive the highest potential benefit for their unique needs.   Our focus is on serving clients with complex or co-occurring medical and/or mental health conditions, as well as clients who hold marginalized identities or come from historically under-served communities (e.g., BIPOC, LGBTQ+, Veterans). 

FIRST YEAR PROGRESS:
Sequoia Center incorporated as an Oregon nonprofit corporation in January 2022, and is now officially recognized as a 501(c)3 tax exempt organization. We received grant funding from the Educational Foundation of America (EFA) to build our basic infrastructure and pilot our ketamine-assisted psychotherapy programs, offering subsidized funding for individuals identifying as BIPOC and/or LGBTQIA+.  

Since April 2022, we have completed 75+ ketamine-assisted sessions (plus assessments, preparation, and integration sessions); all with clients identifying as BIPOC and/or LGBTQIA+.  The most common indication treated was complex trauma & PTSD; others included eating disorders, addiction, severe anxiety, medical trauma, and relationship issues. Clients chose their own hourly out-of-pocket fees according to a restorative justice-informed sliding scale model.  This proved quite successful; we used grant funding to reimburse any difference between clients' chosen hourly rates and our practitioners' hourly rates for services.

In addition to providing individualized services in our offices, we are collaborating and consulting with diverse organizations in the Portland community to bring ketamine-assisted psychotherapy to existing programs and sites.

WHY DONATE TO SEQUOIA CENTER?

1.  As bridge builders between local and national psychedelic communities and the health care system, our network reaches far and wide.  We are regularly approached by a wide variety of individuals and organizations looking for services, education, training, and advising in adapting psychedelic services to their particular needs.  Our mission is first and foremost about accessibility, not just within our own clinic walls (i.e., through making our own services affordable and available to all), but beyond - through helping individuals find the route to psychedelic services that is *best for their unique needs*.  Often, this means getting creative and collaborating with other providers, organizations, and resources, and facilitating communication and cohesion among people with different backgrounds and approaches.  

2. We are a heart-centered team with a wide diversity of skills, expertise, and training backgrounds, including clinical psychology, social work, psychiatry, naturopathic medicine, shamanic healing, art therapy, harm reduction, and peer support. We value bringing together our diversity in the service of a truly interdisciplinary approach where all perspectives are not only valued, but viewed as crucial to success.

3. We value public education and training for new practitioners; our team has vast expertise within these arenas.  In our next year, one of our primary goals is to build out a robust training site, for graduate students, interns, and new practitioners to gain hands-on experience in psychedelic modalities.   This will not only keep our costs down, allowing us to serve a higher volume of clients, but it will provide crucial experience and supervision for trainees. 

4. We value real-world research, particularly where psychedelic services are being offered in new or innovative ways that differ from how they are offered within existing clinical trials.  That is, we aim to improve our own services while simultaneously contributing to a greater understanding of the effectiveness of psychedelic services across contexts.  Data is only ever collected with full consent from the clients we serve and never used or shared for commercial purposes.  We view participating in outcomes research as a commitment to our own ongoing learning as well as to improving results for the clients we serve.

**Demand for psychedelic-assisted services and education is currently greater than available resources, and this gap is expected to intensify for the next several years, as the infrastructure for services must catch up to existing public and political hype.  Your donation will go directly towards resource and service expansion, allowing us to serve more clients, train more new practitioners, and educate more communities**
