El Dorado Nonprofits and Charities

Pastor Igor blessed our fellowship by leading an Inductive Bible Study class this past weekend. The saints were blessed and further equipped to be able to be able to search the scriptures and receive a greater revelation from God through His word.

I have been an adult volunteer and donor with Hands4Hope for 2 years. It is a fantastic organization! The staff and other adult volunteers are dedicated, caring, responsible and a pleasure to work with. Best of all is the youth leading the youth for all the committees and events. I have seen the youth grow so much in their leadership skills in a short period of time. They learn to lead their peers, accomplish tasks in a timely manner and reach out for help or guidance when they need it. The youth have made so many positive impacts in our local community and exhibit strong social skills as well as management and leadership skills. I have worked with a number of nonprofits over the years and Hands4Hope is right at the top. The organization exhibits and teaches respect, caring, integrity, responsibility and trust all while having lots of fun. Can’t recommend this organization highly enough!

Cycling Development has made a tremendous impact on our entire family! We have two riders in the program, and my husband volunteers as a ride leader. The skills, endurance, and confidence our kids have gained are truly unmatched. Along the way, we have ALL built lasting friendships and a sense of community that’s incredibly heartwarming. We’re so grateful to be part of Cycling Development!

Have been following the work of the group since being introduced to it by a friend who volunteers. Such an important rescue and home for so many horses with no other resource for care. Hope to volunteer one day when work allows.

This organization is the best organization to help Special Ops Survivors cope with the loss of their spouse and assists them moving forward with their lives. This organization has helped over 250 Special Ops Survivors build a support group of spouse who may not know exactly how their spouses were killed. The organization does not forget the fallen and recognizes the families for their ultimate sacrifice to this great nation.

Exceptional local community foundation of the EDH Rotary Club.

I'm extremely impressed with the management of this charity, the integrity and generosity. After many years of involvement I absolutely recommend this organization in the highest level.

Run for Courage exists to raise awareness and funds to combat human trafficking and was founded on the following basic tenets: <br>That every child deserves to be loved and cared for <br>and <br>That selling a child for sex is wrong. <br>By raising awareness the community learns what trafficking is; the incidence, prevalence, what it looks like, and what it means victims are subject too. Additionally, what the community can do to fight it. Awareness is a tremendous tool in the fight against trafficking. <br>Funds raised are used to support organizations that work directly with victims or provide services for vulnerable populations whose vulnerabilities could cause them to fall prey to those seeking to exploit them. Funds raised by Run for Courage are granted to qualifying organizations and only after a rigorous vetting application process. Once funding is dispersed, the organizations are then monitored to ensure the funds received are being used in the manner they were intended. This ensures financial accountability. <br>Sadly, most don't know slavery still exists today in the form of trafficking. I was immersed in the world of trafficking 5 years ago when my teenage daughter was taken and trafficked for 8 days. Since her recovery and the sentencing of her perpetrator, it has become my mission to be a voice for the voiceless. Working with Run for Courage allows me to continue on in my mission with a group of like-minded freedom fighters. <br>What Run for Courage has done is simply amazing and I am proud to be a part of this team. <br>

I joined the EDHAA to educate myself and network as a new artist. New to the area and new to promoting myself as an artist , my affiliation with the organization has been a wise choice. Professional, supportive and informative board members, quality educational speakers and demonstrators, they welcome and encourage new members as well as seasoned artists. The association offers opportunites to show your work and informal critiques if desired . A great organization offering moral support as well as financial support in the way of scholarships to our local young artist community . Joey Cattone
