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 Celebration Raises $235,000 for Equine Research

The Belmont Celebration, hosted by the New York Racing Association and The Jockey Club on June 4 at Belmont Park, raised more than $235,000 for the Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation.

This year's celebration honored acclaimed turf writer Joe Hirsch of Daily Racing Form for his literary contributions to the sport over the last five decades.

"I am most grateful for the continued support of the New York Racing Association and all of the individuals and organizations who contributed to the success of the Belmont Celebration," said Nancy Kelly, vice president of development for Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation. "The money raised will greatly aid in the costs of research in important areas of equine health, leading to benefits throughout the horse community."

The Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation is the nation's leading private source of equine research funding. In 2004, the foundation has allocated more than $850,000 to underwrite 20 research projects at 12 universities, bringing the foundation's total funding since 1983 to more than $11 million to underwrite 189 projects at 31 universities.

Current research projects focus on issues that affect horses of many breeds and uses. Among the projects are studies on laminitis, West Nile Virus, pneumonia and cartilage repair.
