TAA Grants $4.7 Million to 86 Organizations

---

The Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance will award $4.7 million in grants to 86 accredited Thoroughbred aftercare organizations in 2025, the organization announced Tuesday. The financial support is designed to assist organizations in delivering exceptional care and rehabilitation services for retired racehorses.

Of the $4.7 million in grants awarded this year, $250,000 was provided by the Commonwealth of Kentucky and is being delivered directly to accredited aftercare facilities in Kentucky.

“Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance is proud to continue supporting our 86 accredited organizations through this year’s grant awards,” said Janice Towles, Director of Accreditation & Grants, Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance. “This funding helps sustain the remarkable efforts of these organizations to continue their incredible work as they provide care, rehabilitation, and second-career opportunities for retired Thoroughbred racehorses. We commend their ongoing commitment to giving every horse a secure and rewarding life after the track.”

Since its inception in 2012, TAA has expanded from 23 to 86 accredited organizations and has increased its annual grants from $1 million to $4.7 million. Accredited organizations have successfully retrained, retired, and rehomed approximately 20,000 Thoroughbreds across 175 facilities.

Support for TAA comes from across all facets of the Thoroughbred industry, including owners, breeders, trainers, stallion farms, racetracks, sales companies, horsemen’s groups, foundations, veterinarians, horseplayers, racing fans, and wagering technology companies. The charitable donations received throughout the year directly fund the grants distributed to TAA-accredited organizations.
