10 TAA FUNDING

Since its inception and initial funding, the TAA has diligently sought to meet the challenging demands of aftercare for our athletes. We have broadened our donor base and developed numerous innovative efforts to increase the much-needed financial support of our partners.

Since 2012 the TAA has granted more than $20.7 million to accredited organizations, which currently operate approximately 170 facilities across North America.

The demand greatly exceeds our ability to meet our requests for support. We will continue to explore ways with our industry stakeholders to address the funding needs of aftercare.

11 TAA ANNUAL EXPENDITURES

Direct Program Expenses Associated with Accreditation Process 10%

G & A Expense 10%

Annual Grants 80%

For the first few years of the TAA’s operation, 5% of revenues was allocated to a board reserve fund. This reserve fund exceeds the minimum as established by the TAA’s policy. As such, these funds are currently allocated to annual grants.

12 THE TAA FUNDING MODEL

More than ever before, there is increased public sensitivity to the question: What happens to Thoroughbreds after racing? If unanswered, it could be ruinous. The TAA is a legitimate and effective response.

Without the support of sustainable funding from key industry stakeholders, the TAA would not exist. The TAA’s funding is provided by the generosity and mindfulness of industry stakeholders dedicated to accredited Thoroughbred aftercare, including stallion farms, racetracks, horsemen’s groups, sales companies, owners, trainers, foundations, horseplayers, and more. See page 16 for the TAA’s full list of industry stakeholders.

13 INDUSTRY SUPPORT FOR THE TAA
