About the Grant: The Rebecca Broussard Developing Rider Grants are bestowed by the Broussard family through the USEA Foundation in memory and honor of Rebecca Chaney Broussard. “Becky” supported numerous international riders through both her generous financial contributions and horse ownership. The Rebecca Broussard Developing Rider Grants are designed to assist and to encourage the education and development of event riders at the highest level of the sport. These grants are awarded to offset some of the travel and training expenses in the pursuit of achieving the qualities of an international rider. These grants are not available to any rider that has already achieved the honor of representing the United States at the Pan American Games, Olympics or World Equestrian Games.The Rebecca Broussard Developing Rider Fund is separated into three types:
1. Rebecca Broussard International Developing Rider Grant (also known as the “Big Becky”) awards $50,000 for the educational development of an international quality rider based on competition in eventing on the global stage.
2. Rebecca Broussard National Developing Rider Grant (also known as the “Little Becky”) awards $15,000 for the educational development of an international quality rider based on competition in eventing on the national stage.
3. Rebecca Farm Travel Grants are smaller grants made available to better assist riders to visit The Event at Rebecca Farm in order to interview for the Developing Rider Grants.
South Carolina Forestry Commission
The South Carolina Forestry Commission was established by law in 1927. At its inception, the agency had three charges – to protect the forest, to promote the benefits of forest management and to monitor the forests' condition. At that time, our forestland had been heavily cut-over and was eroding badly from poor farming practices. Today South Carolina’s forests provide the raw material for the state's forest products industry, the second-largest manufacturing industry sector in South Carolina.
Cost-share Programs
Cost-share Assistance for Implementing Forestry Practices
Certain landowners can qualify for cost-share assistance from either the state or federal government. This assistance can be used on different practices, but mainly focuses on replanting cutover sites. These programs pay anywhere from 40-90% of the cost of the practices that qualify.
In addition, technical assistance is provided by the South Carolina Forestry Commission to help you carry out your forestry work. A Commission forester will advise you as to which species of trees to plant, which kind of site preparation is needed for planting, which herbicides to use, or which trees to remove from your woods. The forester will provide a Forest Management Plan, which will include his recommendations for cost-share practices.
How do I qualify for cost-share assistance?
Any private, non-industrial landowner who owns less than 1,000 acres of qualifying woodland may qualify for federal cost sharing. The acreage limitation does not apply for the state program. The land must be capable of growing at least 50 cubic feet of wood per acre per year. Most land in South Carolina is productive enough to meet this requirement. Be sure to visit your local Forestry Commission office or your local USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) office for additional information.
Southern Pine Beetle Prevention Program (SPB)
The Southern Pine Beetle Prevention Program (SPB) is a federally-funded program administered by the Forestry Commission. It is designed to reduce losses from this beetle by managing pine density through prevention and restoration practices.

About Easton Sports Development Foundation IIArchery is an inspirational sport that teaches discipline and brings communities together.

About the Operational Grant
The Operational Grant is for those seeking funding to assist with the costs related to the operation of the archery program.
About Us
We endeavor to help individuals reach their full potential, families to thrive and communities to flourish through grants to a range of charitable organizations. To these ends, our grantmaking is framed by two potentially contrasting convictions: that tradition is an important resource and that fundamental rethinking often is necessary to respond effectively to new challenges and circumstances. These convictions arise from the encouragement J.K. Lilly, Sr. gave to his sons to be conservatively progressive. That philosophy was evident in their leadership of their company and the establishment and administration of the Endowment.
