A recent look at the Equine Career Network website provided interesting information about the two creators. One of these women was responsible for creating a couple of websites that related to equine non profits and equine grants.
Although the equine grant website link appears to no longer be around, it got me thinking about this topic. A quick search online (just type in equine grants) brings some interesting results:
- Homes for Horses – Grants
- Grants for Equine Rescue (2016)
- Equus Foundation – Grant Making Guidelines
- Red Rover – Resources for Horses
- Government Grants to Start Non-Profit Horse Riding
- USA Equestrian Trust – Request a Grant
For someone who is planning to set up a horse business, it is quite possible that funding can be acquired in the form of a grant. Maybe even two! This is particularly if the setup is essentially a non profit and/or providing great benefit to the local community. Perhaps the horse related venture is meeting a need, like with Riding for the Disabled. Or maybe it’s reaching out to a group of at risk teens as is done with the Running with Mustangs program.
Accessing Equine Grants
Whatever it is, it can be great to know that you can gain finances from willing businesses or organisations. If you desire to setup such a venture in the future, keep equine grants in mind. In fact, you may even be able to utilise their grant criteria to help shape how you will setup and run your idea.
Some may not be equine grants specifically. However, you can gain funding for establishing other horse beneficial items on a property. This may include safe waterways, specific fencing and native bush plantations. Be sure to do your research, there may be a few options available to you with regards to finances on offer!
