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.
