The Minnesota Horse Council Direct Funding Program will fund up to $500 to any non-profit horse-related organization to help cover the expenses of a program or activity they organize which advances the goals of the Minnesota Horse Council.
There is no specific deadline for submitting requests for funding; requests will be evaluated as they are received. Our goal is to complete this evaluation and send a letter of acceptance or rejection to the submitter within 30 days of receiving the request. Direct Funding awards are normally paid after the project is completed. This will be arranged between the recipient and the Horse Council Treasurer.
Direct Funding awards must be used within 6 months. Your organization can only receive this funding once per year.
If my organization holds a clinic, may we keep the profits from the clinic?
Yes, as long as the profits are expected to be less than $200.
What does MHC expect in return for Direct Funding assistance?
Do I have to be a member of MHC to apply?
No, but we’d welcome you as members!
When can we apply?
Anytime, there is no specific timetable.
When will we get an answer?
Our goal is to complete the evaluations and respond within 14 days.
When will we get the money?
The money is normally paid after the event, when you send in your expenses (unless you make other arrangements).
