TRF Awarded Highest Rating by Charity Navigator
Equestrian News Release
The Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation has received Charity Navigator's highest four-star rating for sound fiscal management, the group has informed the TRF.
Charity Navigator, the largest charity evaluator in America, cited the TRF's "ability to efficiently allocate and grow its finances" in announcing the rating. Its executive director, Trent Stamp, went on to say, that "less than quarter of the charities we've rated have received our highest rating, indicating that Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation outperforms most charities in America in its efforts to operate in the most fiscally responsible way possible. This exceptional rating from Charity Navigator differentiates the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation from its peers and proves that it's worthy of the public's trust."
Founded in 1982, the TRF's mission is to save Thoroughbred horses no longer able to compete on the racetrack from possible neglect, abuse and slaughter. Today, the TRF is the world's largest, best known and most respected organization devoted to equine rescue. It houses 1,300 permanent residents at farms in 13 states, predominantly at its five large farms at correctional facilities, where inmates benefit from ground-breaking vocational training.
"The Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation is the largest equine sanctuary in the world," said Diana Pikulski. "As such, it takes a tremendous amount of effort on the part of the staff and our team of volunteer directors to try to raise the money to feed and care for so many horses, run our life-changing inmates' programs and try to educate the racing industry on its responsibilities. It is particularly gratifying, therefore, to be recognized for putting people's money to good use, especially by the largest independent charity rating system, and we hope that this gives donors even more confidence in our work."
