Update for 2011-
As of July 1st, all donations have been made for this year. Please sumbit requests
after January 1st, 2012. No more donations will be made until then.
The EQ-Wine Foundation is proud to be in our 11 year of making donations to worthy equestrian based rescue and welfare groups.
We will donate EQ-Wine Covers Co. products to groups that can document their needs, as well as accomplishments in their
field of work. The Foundation cannot donate large buildings, or arena covers. We do offer pasture shelters, or other
small structures shown on the EQ-Wine Covers website. Please do not ask for several units as some groups have. We must spread
this opportunity around to as many worthwhile charities as possible. Remember, this comes out of our pocket, after expenses,
taxes, labor, and other costs necessary in running a business.
The Foundation is well aware
that there are many worthy organizations in need of help. We are also painfully aware of fraudulent individuals masquerading
as charities, if only for the tax breaks and free donations. After our debacle with a San Miguel, CA based "Rescue"operation,
we now research the operation, operators, and goals before granting materials, and assistance. It is a sad day when people
hide behind needy animals, to commit their questionable deeds. We will not donate to any group that simply warehouses horses
for fundraising purposes, and just raises money for the operators to live on.
