Update for 2010-
The EQ-Wine Foundation is proud to be in our 10th year of making donations
to worthy equestrian based rescue and welfare groups. We will donate EQ-Wine Covers Co. products to groups that can document
their needs, as well as accomplishments in their field of work. The Foundation cannot donate large buildings, or arena
covers. We do offer pasture shelters, or other small structures shown on the EQ-Wine Covers website. Please do not ask
for several units as some groups have. We must spread this opportunity around to as many worthwhile charities as possible.
Remember, this comes out of our pocket, after expenses, taxes, labor, and other costs necessary in running a business.
The
Foundation is well aware that there are many worthy organizations in need of help. We are also painfully aware of fraudulent
individuals masquerading as charities, if only for the tax breaks and free donations. After our debacle with a San Miguel,
CA based "Rescue"operation, we now research the operation, operators, and goals before granting materials, and assistance.
It is a sad day when people hide behind needy animals, to commit their questionable deeds. We will not donate to any group
that simply warehouses horses for fundraising purposes, and just raises money for the operators to live on.
