Foundation & Grants

The Pennsylvania National Horse Show is proud of it's history as a not for profit event. Since 1946, thanks to proceeds from the show, more than $1.4 million has been donated to worthy programs. The Harrisburg Kiwanis Youth Foundation has been a beneficiary of the show since the beginning. The Youth Foundation donates its proceeds to programs that serve youth in South Central Pennsylvania. Kiwanis volunteers assist prior to and during the show. In 1999, The Pennsylvania National Horse Show Foundation was established to support equine related programs. Each year, all of the money allocated to the Foundation is given in grants.
