HEART OF ILLINOIS HORSE RESCUE
EIN 92-3444081 · Animal Protection & Welfare (D20)
What they do
The Primary Exempt Status is to Rescue Abused/neglected Horses From Kill Pens Designed to Transport Them to Horse Slaughterhouses In Mexico & Canada. Our Organization Purchases These Horses, Provides Them Medical Care, Farrier Work, Feed and Water, and Finds Them Safe, Permanent Homes. Our Rescue Has An Extensive Adoption Application and Vetting Process So That These Horses Will Not End Up In Kill Pens Again. We Educate The Public As to The Condition of These Horses Through Various Media and We Ask for Donations to Feed, House and Provide Medical Care, Hoof Care and Housing for Them. We Operate Solely With Donations From The Public and Grants. This Year We Rescued 2 Mini Horses From A Kill Pen In North Carolina Via A Donkey Rescue In Kentucky. These 2 Minis Were Emaciated, Unhandled and Extremely Ill. Through Our Efforts Both Minis Have Received The Medical Attention, Hoof Care, & Socialization to Make Them Good Candidates for Adoption.

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
