Check in for Charity continues to rock this month with over 150 “Check ins” received so far for community radio WERU!
We hope you’re able to share “Checking in” with your friends and that you’ll vote for a nonprofit to get the spotlight in March.
We received a great round of nominations and thank everybody who submitted their favorite nonprofit. We’re humbled by all of the great organizations out there doing important work in Maine and New Hampshire.
Here are the nominees for March (in no particular order):
Riding To The Top Therapeutic Riding Center

- Maine’s only year round therapeutic riding center solely dedicated to serving adults and children with disabilities.
- Getting people, who never dreamed it possible, into the saddle to experience the healing power of horses;
- Committed to all, regardless of ability to pay: Over 60% of clients receive financial assistance
- Eligible for NO federal or state funding, 70% fundraised;
- Powered by 60 volunteers helping with lessons every week, and over 200 active volunteers a year.
