About The Grant
The MDARD Equine Grant Program aims to promote horse racing and enhance equine-related support within Michigan. This initiative, overseen by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD), strives to advance various equine-related programs and research that preserve the agricultural and economic benefits of the state’s horse racing and breeding industry.
Through the Equine Grant Program, funding supports a wide range of activities including marketing, equine-related research, and aftercare. With a total grant size ranging from $100,000 to $500,000 available, this program serves as a cost reimbursement opportunity with no matching requirements. It incentivizes existing businesses to contribute to the growth and sustainability of the equine sector in Michigan.
