Gals Giving Fund: Winter 2014 Report
Every quarter, we donate to two at least local nonprofits doing great things in the Seattle area. Here’s our winter 2014 report from the Gals Giving Fund:
$1,500 to New Vocations
Racehorse adoption program
New Vocations Racehorse Adoption Program was founded in 1992 to offer retiring racehorses a safe-haven, rehabilitation, and continued education through placement in experienced, caring homes. Most of the horses arriving at New Vocations are injured and thin, suffering the normal occupational hazards of racing. Without a useful skill to offer their previous option was often a one-way ticket to the local livestock auction.
New Vocations provides a safety net for these horses matching them with qualified individuals and following up on their rehabilitation and vocational training to ensure a successful transition. Our focus is on adoption versus retirement, believing that each horse deserves to have an individual home and purpose.
$500 to GSBA Scholarship Fund
We’re investing in tomorrow’s LGBTQA leaders today
