Subject: 2020 MPF annual report

Greetings fellow equestrian enthusiasts!

Announcing the Mounted Patrol Foundation's Annual Report for 2021

(for a copy of the full report click below)



The Mounted Patrol Foundation believes horses and equestrian activities have helped create a wonderful, healthy community in and around Woodside, California. We seek to honor the legacy of this area by continuing to support, maintain, develop and encourage equestrian facilities, activities and heritage in the Town of Woodside, the County of San Mateo and the State of California. Our vision includes the preservation of horse habitats and trail systems to provide both opportunities and environments conducive to the enjoyment of horses for horse owners and the public at large. We also serve as fiscal agent for CHAPS (Community Horse Advocacy Program) and work closely with them to achieve mutual grant-making goals.

The Mounted Patrol Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)(3), charitable organization that works in collaboration with local government, other public agencies, and other nonprofits to support and promote equestrian activities and facilities in the area. In the 18 years since our founding, the MPF has made grants in excess of $524,000 to over 40 horse- and equestrian-related organizations, activities, and facilities and CHAPS has made grants in excess of $195,000. The Endowment fund started by founding members in 2003 has grown to $421,000 and makes annual discretionary grants of 5% of the principal balance every year.

**The Sheriff's Activity League (SAL) was founded in 1997 with the purpose of strengthening relationships between youth, deputies, and communities to aid in the intervention and prevention of juvenile delinquency in San Mateo County through positive, dynamic programs. The MPF worked with the Sheriff’s office to create a program that provided horseback training and trail riding in Wunderlich Park.
