The Virginia Horse Center is the crowning jewel in the Old
Dominion's $1B+ equine industry. Your support of the Virginia Horse
Center will ensure that the VHC continues as a viable world class
equine facility. Our mission is: |
- To preserve the rural quality and open space that is the Virginia Horse Center;
- To continue to provide a safe and sound competition environment
for horses and people;
- To provide professional services and a superior environment for
participants as one of the top equine facilities in the United
States;
- To be an industry leader for equine education and ethics
supporting a number of community based equine programs.
|
|
To ensure that future generations of equestrians and horse
lovers continue to have a world class equine facility, the
VHC Foundation works to secure and manage private support
for the Horse Center. The VHC is no longer funded by the
state and depends on private gifts as a 501 (c) 3 non-profit
foundation. |
|
The Virginia Horse Center offers many ways to support our
mission |
 |
Major Giving -
Making a major gift to the VHC is a very personal decision
that should be acted upon after careful consideration.
Naming opportunities exist and the VHC staff can discuss
these privately as appropriate. Consultation with your
financial advisor and attorney is advisable. We can arrange
a call or meeting to discuss possible options. |
 |
Annual Giving -
The VHC's Annual Fund is an important source
of private financial support that helps provide resources
for capital improvements, endowments, debt service and
general operations. The Annual Fund mailing goes out in late
October/early November, although gifts can be made at any
time, and offers many levels of support:
* Grand Prix - a gift of $5,000 and above
* Circuit Champion - a gift of $2,500 to $4,999
* Champion - a gift of $1,000 to $2,499
* Reserve Champion - a gift of $500 to $999
* Blue Ribbon - a gift of $250 to $499

Planned Giving -
The VHC's Legacy Society was created as a way to recognize
and express appreciation to donors who have created legacies
for the VHC through Planned Giving, naming the VHC as a
direct beneficiary or as a contingent beneficiary in the
event your primary beneficiary does not survive you. The VHC
Foundation can accept a number of assets including cash,
securities, real estate, personal property, retirement plan
assets, bequests, and life insurance. Your attorney or
accountant can help best determine how to help the VHC
through your will. Please feel free to contact us for
additional information. |
 |
Stocks & Bonds -
Stocks that have appreciated in value are attractive to use
for charitable gifts as they allow the donor to make a
significant gift to benefit not only the VHC but the donors,
or beneficiaries. Capital gains taxes on the appreciation in
value are avoided on outright gifts and substantially
avoided on income stocks and bonds. Contact the VHC for
additional information. |
 |
