Woodbine Launches Horsepower Fund

Woodbine Entertainment has launched the Woodbine Cares Horsepower Fund, a new grant program designed to support charities and not-for-profit organizations that champion horse welfare and strengthen the bond between horses and people.

Through the Horsepower Fund, local registered charities and not-for-profits across Ontario can apply for micro-grants of up to $5,000. These grants are intended to fuel initiatives that help people connect with horses through education, hands-on care or innovative programs that highlight the extraordinary role horses play in our lives and in the racing community.

Applicants to the Horsepower Fund must:

• Be a registered charity with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) or a registered not-for-profit;
• Be located within the local communities surrounding Woodbine Racetrack or Woodbine Mohawk Park;
• Demonstrate a clear focus on equine welfare;
• Provide evidence of strong fiscal management and governance practices (audited statements may be required); and
• Have submitted final reports from previous years if a prior recipient. 

Eligible charities can apply online. ​
