The Dressage Foundation (TDF) and the United States Dressage Federation (USDF) are proud to announce the creation of the “USDF Education Programs Support Fund,” which will be managed by TDF to benefit USDF’s nationwide educational programs.
Each year, USDF’s programs reach tens of thousands of dressage enthusiasts—from young riders just beginning their journey to seasoned professionals continuing their education. However, with increasing costs to organize these programs, USDF needs financial support to ensure that their educational programs can continue to be offered in a far-reaching, affordable way.
Kevin Reinig, President of USDF, said, “As USDF’s programs and offerings continue to expand and costs continue to rise across the board, the tremendous and ongoing support provided by The Dressage Foundation becomes even more crucial to maintaining the elite standard of education we provide to our members. USDF is throwing its full support behind TDF as we work in tandem to establish the new USDF Education Programs Support Fund and encourage all members and dressage enthusiasts who have reaped the benefits and rewards of USDF’s exemplary education over the years, to support these efforts as well.”
Donations of all sizes for TDF’s new USDF Education Program Support Fund are greatly appreciated and will help plant the seeds of future excellence in dressage education.
Beth Baumert, President and CEO of TDF, said, “TDF’s Board of Directors is excited about making this Fund come to life. It will be similar to the Mary Anne and Walter McPhail Fund that supports the education of judges. This Fund will support the other educational programs that USDF organizes so well.”
Contributions to the USDF Education Programs Support Fund can be made through The Dressage Foundation at www.dressagefoundation.org/usdf-fund.html or by calling (402) 434-8585. If you have questions about making a gift, please contact Jenny Johnson, TDF’s Executive Director, at (402) 434-8585 or jenny@dressagefoundation.org.
Every gift made to TDF’s USDF Education Programs Support Fund will help open the door to more learning, more inspiration, and more opportunities for those who love dressage.
