The Violet M Hopkins Fund

The Violet M. Hopkins Fund was established at The Dressage Foundation in 1996 to help support educational programs of USDF GMOs. The objective of the Hopkins Fund is to give financial assistance to help USDF GMOs provide quality and effective instructional Dressage programs to riders at all levels. The Dressage Foundation requires any group receiving funds to encourage the instructor to incorporate a lecture on the basics and theory of Dressage, appropriate to the level of the group they are teaching. The maximum amount to be awarded will be $2,000 per application. GMOs can receive a grant only once in any given calendar year.
It is required that applications reach the Foundation Office at least 90 days in advance of your event.
