WHO ARE WE?
The Feather Fund is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit fund operating under the umbrella of the Community Foundation of Carroll County. The Feather Fund continues work begun by Carollynn Suplee, assisting deserving children with the purchase of Chincoteague Ponies. We believe raising a foal teaches children life lessons, including
responsibility, good care, love, and ethics, as well as the concept of giving back to others through the care and training of his or her animal. Additionally, the Fund may occasionally provide attendant costs or financial support to related philanthropic causes.
The Feather Fund relies on donor contributions and fundraisers to make pony dreams come true.
Please read Carollynn's Story to learn more.
2021 Pony Awards:
This year, our 2020 Feather Fund Winners (who patiently waited a whole year!) will be getting their foals through the online Pony Penning auction. We are so happy for Ryan Berg of Pennsylvania and Chloe Dowler of Kentucky and look forward to meeting them again on Chincoteague, this time to bid on their ponies together!
Because the online foal auction is tricky and a lot to keep up with, our board of directors decided to hold off until next year to add 2021 winners. Our 2021 applicants will be rolled over to the 2022 cycle, with prayers and hopes that our regular auction will be back by then.
We excitedly look forward to seeing Chloe and Ryan bring home their new foals this year!
