About FMFEF and our 25 in ’25 campaign – To donate directly to this campaign, please click here.
The Full Moon Farm Eventing Foundation (FMFEF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. FMFEF strives to promote good horsemanship, prevent marginalization, and foster diversity, equity, and inclusion. We serve marginalized communities by developing and promoting educational resources, scholarships, and grants.
As an integral part of our #25in25 campaign, proceeds from this fundraiser will allow us to offer a perpetual grant through the U.S. Eventing Association (USEA). Once we reach our fundraising goal of $25,000 in 2025, a $1,000 grant will be given annually to a deserving athlete in the Olympic sport of eventing. The grant may be used in a variety of ways to increase good horsemanship, assist in funding a learning opportunity, or further one’s personal growth in the horse world in a way that may not have been financially obtainable prior to the grant.
For businesses, donating to the auction or attending the event as a vendor is a great opportunity for publicity and increasing your client base. By having your products featured, you can get your name out there as a company that supports DEI efforts. As thanks for your contributions, you will be featured in our social media posts during and after the auction and Festival. Our social media pages are growing quickly and reach a wide range of consumers from all over the U.S.
We look forward to achieving this goal and express our greatest appreciation for your support and financial contributions.
