Frequently Asked Questions
What grants are available for equine nonprofits?
Equine grants commonly fund rescue and rehabilitation, emergency hay and feed, veterinary and farrier care, adoption programs, and therapeutic riding. The ASPCA supports equine welfare organizations — including groups assisting retired racehorses — and PATH Intl. funds therapeutic and adaptive riding programs. Many awards target rehabilitation costs like dental care, therapeutic shoeing, and boarding during recovery.
Which foundations fund horse rescue and welfare?
Key funders include the ASPCA and its Right Horse initiative, the EQUUS Foundation (which supports accredited equine welfare organizations), PATH Intl. for equine-assisted services, and disaster-relief programs such as Fleet of Angels and The Foundation for the Horse. The United Horse Coalition and Homes for Horses Coalition also maintain resources on available funding. Eligibility often depends on accreditation or nonprofit status.
Are there grants for therapeutic riding programs?
Yes. PATH Intl. offers funding to enhance therapeutic and adaptive riding programs, including adaptive equipment and staff training, and some foundations support equine-assisted services for veterans and people with disabilities. Strong applications document program safety standards, certified instructors, and participant outcomes. Confirm whether a funder supports therapy programs specifically, since some equine grants focus only on rescue and welfare.
