IEA Founders Day GIVE was created as a celebration of the official incorporation/founding day of our organization on July 29, 2002!

Thanks to the IEA community for your support of the inaugural Founders Day GIVE on July 29, 2024, resulting in a total of $4,500 from 42 gifts made during the 24-hour online giving event! Through your generous donations along with matching grant funds from the Muzzy Family/MZ Farms a total of $9,000 was raised to support the next generation of equestrian athletes.

“IEA Founders Day GIVE is more than just a fundraising event,” said Kathryn Dando, IEA Resource Development Director. “It’s a celebration of the IEA community’s commitment to fostering the growth and development of young equestrians. By supporting this campaign, donors are investing in the future of equestrian sports and helping to cultivate knowledgeable and skilled riders who embody the values of responsibility, empathy, and compassion.”
