Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Programs described in its return (1)
- $9,630 spent. In 2025, Grace Mountain Ranch established a Horsemanship program that teaches life skills to youth ages 7 and above through riding and horsemanship. This program grew to 53 weekly participants by the end of the year. Additionally, an equine-assisted discipleship program called Reins of Grace was piloted in the fall and served 14 girls between the ages of 10 and 16. This program was very successful and will continue to grow as a primary program at the ranch. The organization also served parents who experienced secondary trauma from a local school shooting through an equine-assisted coaching group. It also served at-risk youth during the school year through equine-assisted learning. By the end of the year, 90 individuals were being served every week through various equine-assisted service programs that focused on strengthening faith, life, and leadership skills. 12 equines serve as our primary service herd members. The organization looks forward to continuing this growth into the coming year with strategic direction and positive momentum.
