USEF Opportunity Fund Grants

USEF Opportunity Fund Grants is sponsored by US Equestrian. The USEF Opportunity Fund aims to extend the reach and impact of outstanding organizations to improve access to the power of horses and to bring the joy of horse sports to as many people as possible.

The USEF Opportunity Fund is a grant-making resource dedicated to supporting the USEF Community Outreach Organizations who are dedicated to increasing access to horses, horse sports, and equine-based learning opportunities among under-represented and/or under-served communities.

The USEF Opportunity Fund aims to extend the reach and impact of such organizations, further empowering them to connect with their local communities and change lives. Grants will be awarded through a competitive grants process. 100% of funds collected will be dedicated to supporting the USEF Community Outreach Program initiative.
