The original logo of the then-Equestrian AIDS Foundation was designed by Ralph "Peter" Moss and reflected the foundation's charter mission of providing compassionate care to equestrians living with AIDS. In 2006, EAF broadened its mission to offer support to equestrians coping with any illness or injury. A third rebranding occurred in 2014.
In 2018, in response to the growing number of catastrophic weather events affecting equestrian communities, EAF broadened its mission once more to open its Disaster Relief Fund. With enthusiastic community support, the fund has been integral to EAF's response to not only climate disasters, but to the COVID-19 pandemic and the EHV-1 outbreak of 2021 as well.
"While our commitment to equestrians in medical crisis will always be the cornerstone of EAF's mission, the foundation has evolved as our community's needs have evolved," said board member Louise Riggio, who was an integral part of the rebranding effort. " At its very essence, EAF is about aid."
To date in 2022, EAF has granted nearly $200,000 to help equestrians in crisis afford basic living expenses as they work to regain stability. More information about their mission can be found here.
