Ideal Applicant
A small rescue, sanctuary, or breed-preservation nonprofit working directly on Spanish Mustang care, rescue, or promotion and seeking modest project support (feed, hay, medical care).
Good Fit
- • Project is explicitly tied to Spanish Mustang care, rescue, or breed promotion.
- • Request is for modest, project-specific costs such as hay, feed, or veterinary care.
- • Applicant can submit a written letter of intent and follow the website's application instructions.
- • Applicant can demonstrate prior stewardship, clear budget use, and outcomes for the herd/breed.
Geography
In the latest year grants were paid to organizations in three states (California, Wyoming, South Dakota); no in-state (New Mexico) awards were recorded, so observed giving is multi-state though limited in scale.
Recipient Variety
The most recent year shows four distinct recipients who appear to be independent shelters/advocacy groups, with three repeat grantees and one new grantee—a moderate spread for a micro-foundation focused on a single breed.
New Applicants
The foundation posts an application form and explicit written-letter submission instructions on its website, and one new recipient appeared in 2023, so unfamiliar applicants have a visible public route and demonstrated entry is possible.
