1. Provide support for police horses in the form of supplies, materials, labor, and public awareness; 2.
Support the dissemination of research and the sharing of best practices
for police horses in such areas as veterinary care, stable management,
and training; 3. Foster community cooperation and public/private
partnerships that support the safety, well-being, health, and training
of police horses.
Grant proposals will be accepted from any federal, state, or local law enforcement agency that uses horses in the line of duty. The
HOOFS Fund will consider grant requests of up to $3,000. We will
consider all project proposals, but preference will be given to high
impact ideas with the potential to make a substantial difference in the
quality of life for police horses. Entrepreneurial ideas that promote an
efficient use of public and private resources are encouraged.
Applications
will be reviewed at meetings of The HOOFS Fund Board of Directors.
Notification of awards will be made following the meetings. All
application materials should be submitted by mail or email. For complete
instructions and a form, please click on the links on the right side of
this page.
Grant
recipients are asked to submit a post-grant report within six months of the
grant being awarded, and, if the project extends beyond six months, a
final report at the project's conclusion.
Materials must be
received by June 1 and October 1 of each year. Any submission received
after these deadlines will be rolled over to the next funding cycle.
