Designated Gift Disaster Relief FundA disaster relief fund for horses was formed for the AAEP Foundation after four major hurricanes hit in just six weeks in 2004. Funds were raised to assist in the aftermath of these disasters to help supply veterinarians with satellite telephones, equipment and supplies. Aid also is supplied when needed to reliable equine groups, veterinary schools, associations and others that step in during times of disaster.
This fund has helped to fund the training of horse owners, first responders, AAEP veterinarians and veterinary students in emergency and disaster preparedness. Now and in the future, the AAEP Foundation Equine Disaster Relief Fund will support valuable disaster preparedness resources and response efforts for horses, veterinarians and horse caregivers.

Named Scholarship Program
If the education of equine veterinary students is important to you, making a “Named Scholarship” may be the way you wish to designate a gift to the AAEP Foundation.
Naming a scholarship is a way for donors to help equine veterinary students through both the AAEP Foundation and their favorite university with a college of veterinary medicine. This scholarship program is designed to encourage and support equine veterinary studies and minimize student debt at graduation by providing financial aid to students in their second through fourth years of veterinary school.
Donors are encouraged to make a $3,000 or larger donation to the AAEP Foundation, that in-turn will be directed to a school of their choice. Awards will be made to National AAEP student members that also belong to a Student Chapter of the AAEP at their school. In addition to gaining donor credit from both the Foundation and school, donors also may name the scholarship. Donors are encouraged to name the scholarship in honor of a friend, colleague or even themselves or their family. Corporations also are encouraged to do the same. Naming examples include: AAEP Foundation (Company Name) Scholarship or the AAEP Foundation (Name) Family Scholarship or the AAEP Foundation (Name) Memorial Scholarship. This program will benefit donors by building a relationship with students who may later become industry leaders, seek employment or use their products. Donations should be made directly to the AAEP Foundation and the full amount will be given to the selected institution. The donor gets to select the recipient institution and the name for the scholarship. Applicants must meet AAEP Foundation eligibility and criteria guidelines, and the school will participate in the selection process. To make a gift and name a scholarship, click here.
