Ideal Applicant
A small-to-medium nonprofit or program delivering equine-assisted mental health services (including veteran or trauma-focused programs), seeking program or operating support or fiscal sponsorship at grant sizes typical of past awards.
Good Fit
- • Direct provision of equine-assisted mental health services or partnerships enabling those services
- • Program-level funding requests in the range commonly observed ($5K–$150K), with many awards clustered below $50K
- • Clear service metrics or clinical outcomes for mental-health programming
- • Interest in fiscal sponsorship or partnership with the funder
Geography
In the latest year grants were dispersed across 16 states with only about 1% of dollars in the foundation's home state, showing a national multi-state footprint despite one state (Ohio) receiving a larger single share.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 22 distinct recipients (22 grants) representing many independent equine-therapy programs; most grantees in 2024 were new to the funder, indicating a broad recipient set for the funder's size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover is available: 20 of 22 2024 recipients were new entrants, suggesting unfamiliar applicants have successfully entered the portfolio; formal public grant guidelines were not found, so applicants should use the website contact and the fiscal-sponsorship form observed.
