What We Do and Why We Do It?

Horses benefit millions of people of all ages every day - 

• Athletically in the unique and brilliant way they team with men and women, young and old, allowing them to compete against each other as equals and 

• Therapeutically in the magical way they empower and heal those who care for and ride them.

Our goals are to:

• Raise public awareness of the value of the horse in society through education and grant making

• Inspire donor confidence in the charities that we support through our grant evaluation process and 

• Serve as an information resource for the public as well as the charities that are involved with horses.

  Thanks to the generosity of our individual and corporate donors, The EQUUS Foundation, Inc., benefits thousands of people and horses each year through the award of grants to eligible charitable organizations.

  The Board of Directors of The EQUUS Foundation, Inc., a fund raising and fund granting 501(c)(3) charity, has awarded over$850,000 in grants since 2003 and hopes to award over $250,000 in 2008 to deserving charities that use the horse to benefit of the general public, promote horse welfare, and elevate the equestrian sport.
