Covid-19 Emergency Equine Fund - Grants of up to £5,000

Petplan Charitable Trust, in partnership with World Horse Welfare and the National Equine Welfare Council, has created a Covid-19 Equine Rescues Emergency Fund for smaller UK equine welfare organisations with an annual turnover of less than £500,000.

Organisations for whom the rescue and rehoming of equines is the primary focus are eligible to apply for grants of up to £5,000, with Petplan expecting the average grant to be around £2,500-£3,000.

The fund is to make up for the loss of income experienced by animal welfare and rehoming charities as their funding and income sources have dried up as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic and ensuing lockdown.

Round 2 of funding is currently open and the deadline for applications is 24 July, with successful applicants being informed a week after the deadline. Apply Here Thanks, as always to Ian McLintock from the Charity Excellence Framework for keeping us informed about these opportunities!
