From a Thoroughbred Charities of America release
Thoroughbred Charities of America (TCA) announced today grants totaling $511,650 have been awarded to 67 Thoroughbred industry-related non-profits that work to uphold TCA’s mission. Grant recipients from the last three years can be found on www.tca.org.
TCA distributes grants to several categories of Thoroughbred related nonprofits including retirement, rehabilitation and adoption organizations; backstretch and farm employee programs; therapeutic riding programs; and research organizations.
“After carefully reviewing each grant application, we are pleased to announce our 2015 grant recipients,” said TCA president Dan Rosenberg. “TCA appreciates the tireless efforts of each of our grantees as they work to advance their missions. We are also extremely grateful for the support of our donors that make our annual grants possible.”
TCA has granted over $21 million to more than 200 Thoroughbred-related charities since its inception in 1990. TCA grants funds to organizations that successfully meet the criteria set forth in its annual grant application. Grant applications for the 2016 grant cycle will be available on www.tca.org in early January.
Formed in 1990, TCA’s mission is to provide a better life for Thoroughbreds, both during and after their racing careers by supporting retirement, rescue and research and by helping the people who work with them. TCA raises money for distribution to charitable organizations that work to uphold its mission. From 2000-2014, more than 95% of TCA’s expenditures were allocated to program services including direct grants.
