Bay of Islands Riding for the Disabled is a non-profit making organisation.
BOI RDA does not receive any government funding and relies entirely on the generosity of the public for support.
BOI RDA charges only a minimal fee for their service which does not cover their running costs. Therefore, their volunteers have to spend many hours and resources on fundraising and sourcing corporate funding to enable the group to carry on operating.
