of Equines In Need
Donate to Brennan Equine Welfare Fund
Why Donate to BEWF?
Your donation is fully tax-deductible! Brennan Equine Welfare Fund (BEWF) is a 501(c)(3) set up through the Greater Cincinnati Foundation's 501(c)(3), so any gift you make will be acknowledged by the foundation with a confirmation for your taxes.
You can be assured that all funds go directly to the horses! This can include funds for feed, veterinarian and farrier expenses, farm maintenance, fencing, retraining, medical supplies (wormers, first-aid) and many other expenses. Donations are deposited in an interest-bearing account through the Greater Cincinnati Foundation's 501(c)(3), so even more funds will be available when distributed as a grant.
Strict qualifying criteria is set up for rescue/rehabilitation/retirement facilities that request and receive grants from Brennan Equine Welfare Fund. This assures that the best interest and welfare of the benefiting horses are the top priority and that they will be provided for with dignity until the end of their natural lives, with no chance of any further neglect, abuse, abandonment or chance of being sent to slaughter.
Linda Pavey, Founder of Brennan Equine Welfare Fund, frequently visits the facilities that have applied for or received grants from BEWF. This assures that all grants are going to organizations which meet the strict criteria of the best interest of the horses, and allows the benefits from past grants to be seen in person.
Where Does Your Money Go?
100% of your donation goes towards grants that help equines in need. There is a 3% fee that BEWF is charged to maintain an interest bearing account which, in reality, yields more for grants to help the horses, so essentially, 100% (or more!) goes to the horses as the interest comes back to make more available for grant funding.

Estate Giving Through Wills and Trusts
There is a misconception that non-profit organizations such as BEWF are always set with funding to be able to do the work that we are so passionate about and help as many horses in need as possible. The reality is without the gifts left in wills by people like you, many of the charities we know and support today wouldn't even exist. Please consider remembering Brennan Equine Welfare Fund in your will or estate plan and know that you have left a legacy that will help equines in need for years to come. Below you will find sample wording for a bequest to Brennan Equine Welfare Fund.
