Giving Tuesday for the Big Hoof Foundation

Being a new 501c3 non-profit organization, this is our first year participating in Giving Tuesday. "GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of radical generosity. GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.

It’s a simple idea: whether it’s making someone smile, helping a neighbor or stranger out, showing up for an issue or people we care about, or giving some of what we have to those who need our help, every act of generosity counts and everyone has something to contribute toward building the better world we all want to live in."

This year the annual celebration of Giving Tuesday will be held on November 28th. On Giving Tuesday, Givebutter along with VISA are giving additional donations to Givebutter fundraisers. With your support, we can continue to save the lives of Belgian draft horses.

The Big Hoof Foundation is dedicated to saving Draft Horses that have spent their entire lives working only to be neglected or abused when they can no longer work and are eventually sold to slaughter or abandoned to perish.

The Big Hoof Foundation works to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home these beautiful gentle giants to nurturing pastures while advocating for more humane treatment of the draft breeds through information and enlightenment.

By saving abandoned Draft Horses we are providing them a loving, humane environment free from pain and suffering as well as restoring their trust in humanity.

The specific objectives and purpose of this organization shall be:

1. To rescue, rehabilitate and re-home Draft horses.
2. To provide a facility where no animal will endure the pain and suffering caused by a life of abuse, neglect or abandonment by giving the horses the proper medical care required to live a healthy life.
3. To sponsor or host events that promote awareness of the neglect and abuse of the Draft Horse Breed.
4. To create an equine therapy program to assist people suffering with mental illness.
5. To bring awareness to the community about horses being released into a slow feral death or dropped at a dealer who sends them to auction then slaughter.
6. To form relationships, share information and work towards a collaborative effort to solve problems that lead to the inhumane treatment of these big hoofed gentle giants.
