Other ways to give
Scholarship Fund
Donations to the GEC’s Scholarship Fund directly support the organization’s mission to provide the joy of horses to a diverse community, regardless of income or ability. Established in 2025, the fund provides financial assistance for riding lessons to the target audience of families with limited income and/or differently-abled students who cannot get coverage of lessons through other channels.

Capital Fund – Indoor Arena
Donations to the GEC’s capital project directly fund the design and construction of a long-awaited indoor riding arena, transforming the facility into a year-round resource for the Baltimore community.
Impact of Your Contribution
Your support addresses several critical operational and mission-based needs:
- Year-Round Operations: Currently, GEC loses an average of 68 days per year due to inclement weather. An indoor arena eliminates these cancellations, ensuring consistent education for riders regardless of the season.
- Expansion of Therapeutic Programs: The controlled, weather-protected environment is essential for safely offering therapeutic equine activities, allowing GEC to serve individuals with disabilities even during winter months, as well as in a distraction free environment.
- Financial Sustainability: By reducing weather-related revenue losses, the arena puts the non-profit on “stable footing,” allowing for the long-term preservation of its 20-acre facility within Gunpowder Falls State Park.
- Enhanced Safety and Training: An indoor space provides superior, consistent footing and a distraction-free environment, which reduces the risk of injury for both horses and riders while accelerating skill development.
