We offer several programs that allow you to contribute to equine research in your own unique way and double the impact of your contribution.

Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation hosts a number of fund-raising events throughout the year. All of the proceeds from these events directly benefit our research efforts.
Research Grants
Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation has no alliance with any one university, so the Foundation is free to fund the best research regardless of where it takes place. Since 1940, the Foundation has funded more than 437 specific research projects at the 48 universities listed on our Where the Dollars Go page.

The research today is helping recruit and train the researchers for tomorrow, giving extra impact from the Foundation's funding. Aside from such staff assistance, however, the Foundation does not pay the Principal Investigator's salary or other overhead, therefore directing the dollars right on the target of research.
Who We Are
Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation is a leading, non-profit charitable organization that any horse lover can join.

We exist to help all horses by funding excellent and significant veterinary research at universities throughout North America and beyond and are committed to the advancement of horses of all breeds.

Belmont Ball Raised $175,000 for Equine Research

The Belmont Ball, hosted by the New York Racing Association on June 5 at Belmont Park, raised more than $175,000 for the Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation.

The black-tie event this year honored internationally renowned equine artist Richard Stone Reeves and also paid tribute to Affirmed on the 25th anniversary of his Triple Crown triumph.

"I cannot adequately thank the New York Racing Association and all of the sponsors, advertisers and attendees for their generosity and their support," said Nancy Kelly, vice president of development for the Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation. "These funds will aid the ongoing efforts of our researchers and scientists as they seek to enhance the health and welfare of all horses."

The Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation is currently funding 19 research projects at 11 universities throughout North America for $748,116. Over the last two decades, the foundation has provided more than $10.2 million to underwrite 178 separate projects at 31 universities.

Current research addresses key issues of health and soundness that affect a great many horses of all breeds and uses. These include laminitis, West Nile Virus, pneumonia and cartilage repair.
