Columbus, OH — Matching Funds Grant applications for fairs must be postmarked by Monday (May 1).

The USTA will cover half, up to $1,000, of a fair’s marketing budget, if approved.

There is $10,000 available to assist fairs and horsemen’s associations with promoting their fairs. Since its inception in 2006, the MFG has given funding to 78 different fairs and horsemen’s groups.
