What Amplify Horse Racing does
Mission
Amplify Horse Racing amplifies thoroughbred industry education, mentorship, and career opportunities with horse programs for youth and young adults. We create pathways to involvement for newcomers, highlight existing initiatives, and create new resources to lead the thoroughbred industry into the future. Horse racing might be called "the sport of kings," but it's a sport for everyone!
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Mentorship program - the Amplify Horse Racing mentorship program formalizes the process of pairing youth and young adults interested in pursuing a thoroughbred industry career (mentees) with experienced industry professionals who can offer guidance (mentors). The program is designed to provide a first step for young people to learn more about the thoroughbred horse industry and learn how to get more involved. Pairings are designed to encourage mentees to learn about the thoroughbred horse industry and develop an understanding of its nuances; teach important skills needed to pursue a job or career, and facilitate meaningful conversations between experienced professionals and young people about the realities of employment in the thoroughbred horse industry. The program also offers travel award opportunities to outstanding mentees who complete the entirety of the program, along with a networking event in lexington, kentucky.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $452k to $350k (−23%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
95% of AMPLIFY HORSE RACING’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (57% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $8k → $30k.
1 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 7% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of AMPLIFY HORSE RACING’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
AMPLIFY HORSE RACING has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 29% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
56% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund AMPLIFY HORSE RACING.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 2023 33% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
53% of AMPLIFY HORSE RACING's grant income comes from Kentucky funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $8k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
