In 2024, donors helped the National Snaffle Bit Association Foundation have an impact on the lives of hundreds of individuals and organizations throughout the horse industry.
That impact included introducing 13 therapeutic riding centers to NSBA competition through its Coaches Summit event, honoring 50 military veterans through four Heroes On Horses® events, welcoming a new class of ten professionals into its Tomorrows Horsemen® educational program, providing grants for 113 entries for Equestrians With Disabilities at the NSBA World Championship Show, providing $14,000 in youth scholarships, recognizing the community service of 15 equine industry women at its Cowgirls ROC event and providing more than $30,000 to families in need through its Crisis Fund.
These programs fall under the NSBA Foundation’s five pillars of service, which include Animal Welfare, the Crisis Fund, Education, Equestrians With Disabilities and the Champion Fund.
Now, the NSBA Foundation looks forward to what we can accomplish together in 2025 through its holiday giving campaign. As a 501(c)3 organization, financial gifts to the NSBA Foundation are tax deductible in accordance with IRS guidelines.
