OQHF Crisis Fund

The Ohio Quarter Horse Foundation’s Crisis Fund assists those affected by sudden and demonstrable hardship, disaster or serious physical illness based on proven financial need.

To be eligible for assistance from the Crisis Fund, a recipient must:

Be a member in good standing of the Ohio Quarter Horse Association for at least one year, or

Be involved with the All-American Quarter Horse Congress.

The Board of Directors, among other factors, takes the following into consideration when awarding assistance:

1. Severity of the hardship, disaster or illness

2. Recipient’s family income, assets and liabilities and size of family

3. Availability of insurance

4. Other sources of income or support

5. Involvement in or contribution to the Ohio Quarter Horse Association and/or to the All-American Quarter Horse Congress

Before any assistance is provided from the Crisis Fund, a completed application must be received by the Board of Directors, together with evidence of proven financial need, hardship or illness, including tax returns, financial statements, doctor statements, as applicable or other information that may be requested by the Board. The application form can be obtained from a OQHF board member. The Board of Directors meets quarterly and as needed to consider applications for assistance from the Crisis Fund. All payments from OQHF will be made for direct payment of invoices, services, etc. and not paid directly to the recipient.
