Thoroughbred Charities of America's sole mission
is to raise money for distribution to
more than 200 charitable
organizations
in Thoroughbred
rescue, retirement, retraining,
research, education, jockey & backstretch,
and therapeutic riding programs.
TCA differs significantly from most fund raising organizations
by one huge factor: it has only one paid employee with unpaid volunteers supplementing the remainder.
In 2008, TCA granted over 96 cents of every $1 raised.
Our Board of Directors consists of some of the
most knowledgeable and respected people in the
Thoroughbred industry and they are very proactive in
TCA fund raising and grant giving activities.
TCA has granted more than
$16 million over the
past 19 years, to over 200 organizations
in 38 states.
In addition to regular donations, we also maintain an
endowment fund, which will ensure continuity
of the annual funding.
