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.

Loudoun Community Response Fund - Phase Two - Community Stability and Assistance Grants 2026
About the Fund
The Loudoun Community Response Fund was launched in 2025 to strengthen our community’s capacity to meet the growing needs of individuals and families striving for financial stability, well-being, safety, and long-term security. As more Loudoun residents seek assistance, the Loudoun Community Response Fund helps ensure that local nonprofits have the resources and support needed to deliver essential services and promote lasting stability. Funding for the Loudoun Community Response Fund is made possible through a one-time investment from the County of Loudoun.
Phase One funding was granted to local nonprofits in December 2025 through the Community Response Grant Round One and Housing Displacement Support Grant programs. The Community Foundation then conducted a community input process in 2026 to assess community needs, especially in the context of federal funding and policy shifts that may impact local residents and service delivery, as well as to inform the funding strategy for Phase Two. The community input process included data and literature review, in addition to focus groups and interviews with nonprofit, government, and funding partners, as well as community members. The Community Foundation now announces the opening of its Phase Two funding opportunities, informed by the community input process findings.
