Gulfstream Park Thoroughbred After Racing Program funds organizations focused on the welfare, aftercare and integrity of retired Thoroughbred racehorses and the backside community that supports racing. The foundation gives heavily to aftercare/retraining and medical/testing initiatives while also supporting chaplaincy and workforce training for racing industry workers. Their giving signals a practical, industry-centered approach: keeping horses safe and cared for after racing and investing in the people who work in the racing ecosystem.
Gulfstream Park Thoroughbred After Racing Program Inc centers its grantmaking on retired Thoroughbred aftercare, and its largest recent awards show that focus clearly. The foundation backed Florida Horsemen's Charitable Foundation with $157,086 in 2024 and $143,213 in 2025 to support care and proper treatment for retired Thoroughbreds, while also giving $150,000 in 2024 and $100,000 in 2025 to Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance Foundation Inc for the same mission. Those awards place horse welfare at the core of its work, with repeated support for organizations serving horses after their racing careers end. The program also funds the infrastructure around racing and aftercare rather than broad charitable causes. Recent grants include support for backside chaplaincy, racehorse safety and integrity research, retraining and rehoming off-the-track Thoroughbreds, and job training connected to the racing and hospitality workforce. Its portfolio suggests a practical approach to the racing ecosystem: caring for the horses, supporting the people who work behind the scenes, and strengthening the systems that govern safety and welfare. The foundation’s recent giving is concentrated in large, mission-specific awards rather than many small gifts, and several recipients appear more than once across 2024 and 2025.
Retired Thoroughbred aftercare is the clearest theme in the foundation’s grantmaking. It gave $157,086 to Florida Horsemen's Charitable Foundation in 2024 and $143,213 in 2025, both for the care and proper treatment of retired Thoroughbreds. It also awarded $150,000 in 2024 and $100,000 in 2025 to Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance Foundation Inc for the same purpose. The foundation also supports the people and systems around racing. In 2025, it granted $80,866 to His Place Ministries Inc for backside chaplaincy, and in 2024 it gave $25,000 to Hospitality Workers Training Fund for training, educational programs, employer and employee outreach, and job placement services. Another thread is equine safety and retraining. Racing Medication & Testing Consortium Inc received $9,509 in 2024 and $5,286 in 2025 to fund research, develop and promote policy recommendations, and educate stakeholders in support of horse racing safety and integrity. Thoroughbred Athletes Inc received $5,500 in 2025 to retrain and rehome off-the-track Thoroughbreds and give community youth the ability to experience the process.

Concentrated, high-dollar support to a small set of industry-specific organizations with repeat grants to core aftercare and racing-integrity entities; majority of funds flow to a few large grantees rather than many small, one-off gifts.
Notable grantees: Florida Horsemen's Charitable Foundation, Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance Foundation, His Place Ministries, Racing Medication & Testing Consortium
Typical grants are relatively large and unevenly distributed: the 25th percentile is $21,127, the median is $87,500, and the 75th percentile is $151,772. The recent record shows repeated awards to the same organizations across 2024 and 2025, including Florida Horsemen's Charitable Foundation, Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance Foundation Inc, and Racing Medication & Testing Consortium Inc. That pattern points to ongoing operating support for selected partners rather than one-time gifts spread widely. The foundation is a private grantmaker with regional giving and does not fund individuals.
Giving is concentrated in the United States, with all recent grants going to US recipients. Florida appears often, including Hallandale Beach, Pembroke Pines, and Aventura-area grantmaking tied to the foundation’s own location. Kentucky is the top state by grant count, with multiple awards to Lexington-based organizations. Oklahoma also appears through a grant to Guthrie. The recipient map is centered on racing-related hubs rather than a single metro area.
It focuses on retired Thoroughbred aftercare and rehoming, racehorse welfare, and the racing ecosystem around those horses. Recent grants supported the care and proper treatment of retired Thoroughbreds, retraining and rehoming off-the-track Thoroughbreds, backside chaplaincy, and horse racing safety and integrity work.
Several recipients appear in both 2024 and 2025. Florida Horsemen's Charitable Foundation received $157,086 in 2024 and $143,213 in 2025. Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance Foundation Inc received $150,000 in 2024 and $100,000 in 2025. Racing Medication & Testing Consortium Inc also received grants in both years.
The grant-size distribution is fairly concentrated: the 25th percentile is $21,127, the median is $87,500, and the 75th percentile is $151,772. That indicates the foundation commonly makes mid- to high-five-figure grants, with some larger awards above $150,000.
In the recent grants listed here, no. All 9 grants went to US recipients, for 100% of the sample. The named recipients are located in Florida, Kentucky, and Oklahoma.
