Calling All Zuma Sponsors
Zuma’s needs to raise cash for our upcoming fundraiser…… The grant monies we have so graciously been awarded do not allow us to spend those funds for fund-raising events.
We are planning our July 31st event and in the process have estimated the upfront costs to run about $20,000.00. I know that seem like a huge number but with the hundreds of Zuma supporters, I thing if we all pitch in a little bit we can pull this off and put on a fun entertaining event.
We also have a corporate sponsorship drive going so for those of you that think you might be able to persuade your company to sponsor…. Here is the sponsorship package.
For those of you that would like to make a personal contribution to assist us in this very much-needed fund-raising event, how about starting donations at
$50.00 each to build a cash reserve to pay for rentals, decorations, food, lighting, sound, wine……. If you can help out in any amount, PLEASE DO
Go to our website home page and click the Donate at the top of the page. Donate! This will take you to our network for good donations page. Let’s all see what we can do to help us raise funds to keep Zuma’s going. Our overhead costs are $512.00 per day or $187,000 per year. We truly need to make this fund-raiser work!!!

Volunteers Needed!
Zuma’s operates with a skeleton crew supplemented by its cherished volunteers. Volunteers are the backbone of Zuma’s Rescue Ranch, as they are of any non-profit organization–especially any program that involves animals. Programs like ours never rest: there are no days off when caring for heartbeats.
Volunteer opportunities at the ranch are fun, varied, outdoor learning experiences; a chance to get out of the office, out of the house and outdoors. Most of our volunteers would rather clean a barn than their own homes, and for that we love them.
The Ranch has no prerequisites to become part of our volunteer family, just a love for children and/or horses and the outdoors. You need not have horse experience. We can teach you everything you need to know to care for them, a lesson well worth learning.
Volunteer Training : Every 1st and 4th Saturday from 9:00 am-12:00 pm, volunteers can come and learn the ropes. Once you have successfully completed the volunteer training, we offer flexibility in volunteer opportunity scheduling.
Volunteers who have completed the training session are always needed for help with the following:
- Early morning feeding crew (7:30 am)
- Late morning pasture and stall cleaners (9-10 am)
- Lunch time feeding crew (12-1 pm)
- Early evening feeding crew (4-5 pm)
- Early evening pasture and stall cleaning crew (3-5 pm)
- Any time of day for the following; horse groomers, riders, mane pullers, body clippers.
Electricians, plumbers, framers, handy men, excavators & roofers are always needed for projects.
We are always looking for groups that need corporate work days. We have the work and need the help.
Please contact our volunteer coordinator for opportunities:volunteers@zumasrescueranch.com

The Morning Poo Stomp
Community
Zuma’s has developed an incredibly strong community, full of support for our mission. Our community is full of dedicated volunteers that all contribute in their own special ways. This group is committed to the harmonious continuation our mission. This makes all the difference.
Zuma’s community includes the volunteer that is tired after a long day at work yet still drives out to Zuma’s to help that make the difference in our mission. Or the volunteer that shows up early Sunday morning without fail – rain or shine, sun or snow – to help scoop poop. Zuma’s community is the volunteer that dedicates time each week to mentor one of the kids at Zuma’s. It is the volunteer that makes Zuma’s Luck for us, or the one that collects beads for the Zuma’s Luck, or that dedicated P.R. volunteer that squeezes in time to put Zuma’s mission out into the world. These are the people that keep the mission on track. 
Our community, these people that make everything possible.
When Zuma’s can count on the continued support from the community, we can continue to grow through our programs to save more horses and help more families.
What ever way your are giving, doing, saying good things for Zuma’s, we say THANK YOU!
