Dear NCEFT Community,

It is with great pleasure that we introduce W. Scott Lohmann, the new Development Director at the National Center for Equine Facilitated Therapy.

Scott brings a proven record of strategic fundraising and nonprofit leadership. His career spans senior development roles with impactful organizations including VolunteerMatch.org, Voices College-Bound Language Academies, and the Peninsula College Fund where he served on the board for more than ten years, including two years as Board President.

Outside of work, Scott coaches boys’ varsity lacrosse at Sequoia High School and enjoys cycling. He and his wife, Lisa, are proud empty nesters with two college-aged sons and their loyal dog, Rocky.

Many of you may already know Scott through his extensive community involvement on the Peninsula. We’re delighted to have him bring his energy, experience, and passion for building meaningful connections to the NCEFT family. Please join us in welcoming Scott to the team—drop him a note at scott@nceft.org to say hello and share what makes NCEFT special to you.

In remembrance of the men and women who gave their lives in military service, NCEFT offers our deepest gratitude.

Our dedicated team of clinicians and horses helps veterans who are fighting silent battles with PTSD, isolation, and addiction long after they’ve returned home. One session at a time, and at no cost to them, we walk alongside veterans on the long road to healing.

If you’d like to learn more, or donate to support our veteran clients, please visit nceft.org

Everyday at NCEFT, we observe incredible growth, strength, and resilience in our clients, horses, and staff.

This year has reinforced NCEFT’s resilience as we navigated through exceptional challenges. A series of illnesses among our horses required multiple barn shutdowns and halts to our vital therapeutic services. These events led to increased veterinary costs and lost program revenue.

This spring, we need your help to raise $250,000 to ensure our horses, clients, and essential programs continue to thrive.
