The Organization – CORRAL Riding Academy

About the Organization 
CORRAL is a faith-motivated, non-profit that acts as an intervention program for adolescent girls in high-risk situations in the Triangle Area. Participants may be “high-risk” due to socioeconomic status, trauma such as neglect, abuse, or, more frequently, a combination of these situations. CORRAL pairs high-risk girls between the ages of 11 and 18 with rescued horses to promote healing, transformational growth, and ultimately, lasting life change. Programming is intended as a long-term intervention and includes only the uppermost standards of literacy and academic tutoring, vocational training, and equine assisted therapy programs, as well as individual and group mental health sessions.

CORRAL aims to serve the highest risk girls in our community. Among those risk factors is the influence of systemic racism.

Understanding this context, CORRAL bears the same responsibility to heal the trauma our girls have experienced due to systemic racism just as much as more commonly understood forms of trauma.

The Organization – National Audubon Society

The National Audubon Society is a nonprofit conservation organization that protects birds and the places they need today and tomorrow. We work throughout the Americas towards a future where birds thrive because Audubon is a powerful, diverse, and ever-growing force for conservation. Audubon has more than 700 staff working across the hemisphere and more than 1.5 million active supporters.

North America has lost three billion birds since 1970, and more than 500 bird species are at risk of extinction across Latin America and the Caribbean. Birds act as early warning systems about the health of our environment, and they tell us that birds – and our planet – are in crisis. Together as one Audubon, we are working to alter the course of climate change and habitat loss, leading to healthier bird populations and reversing current trends in biodiversity loss. We do this by implementing on-the-ground conservation, partnering with local communities, influencing public and corporate policy, and building community.

Audubon is committed to a culture of workplace excellence, where our talented and diverse staff are deeply engaged with a strong sense of belonging. The birds Audubon pledges to protect differ in color, size, behavior, geographical preference, and countless other ways. By honoring and celebrating the equally remarkable diversity of the human species, Audubon brings new creativity, effectiveness, and leadership to our work throughout the hemisphere.

The Organization – Disability & Philanthropy Forum

Founded in 2019 by the Ford Foundation and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Disability & Philanthropy Forum is a philanthropic-mobilizing organization created in response to calls to action by the disability community to address gaps in disability representation in philanthropy and funding. Now fiscally sponsored by the Proteus Fund, the Forum has evolved to fill a void in the philanthropic sector. The Forum mobilizes philanthropy to dismantle ableism in the field by increasing funding for disability inclusion, rights, and justice; amplifying the leadership of disabled people in the philanthropic sector; and educating philanthropic organizations on building a culture of inclusion.

The Disability & Philanthropy Forum fulfills its mission by utilizing programmatic strategies of Learning, Philanthropic Advocacy, and Peer Networks. The mission is achieved through the Forum’s three main strategies:

1. Building a learning ladder of programs and resources that help funders increase disability inclusion and deepen their commitment to disability rights and justice;
2. Advocating for disability rights and justice within philanthropy while building systems of accountability to monitor progress; and
3. Sustaining peer networks at all levels in philanthropy, from program and support staff to CEOs.
