Conserve · transparent impact
Conservation support should show what happened after the money arrived: what was purchased, who performed the work, which horses and farms benefited, and what economic activity the project helped sustain.
How support moves
Contributions and sponsorships are connected to a specific documented conservation project.
Hay, feed, water, freight, veterinary work, registration, DNA, infrastructure, education, and other costs can be logged separately.
Purchasing, loading, shipping, unloading, hauling, distribution, professional services, and local labor are visible parts of the conservation economy.
Projects can link directly to the ranches and individual horses affected instead of ending at a generic dollar total.
Jobs, services, materials, local spending, infrastructure, and other measurable effects can be reported with methodology and source evidence.
The founding breed world is Puerto Rico, but preservation activity may happen wherever the horses, genetics, researchers, ranches, transport routes, archives, veterinary teams, or supporters are located. Each economic step can record its country and region.
Economic ripple
Donor mare, reproductive veterinarian, recipient mare owner, ultrasound and laboratory work, medications, semen/embryo storage, transport, clinic staff, feed and hoof care, registration, and the future foal can all be part of one preservation chain.
Posts, wire, gates and lumber create supplier sales; delivery uses fuel and drivers; equipment and fencing crews create labor; restored infrastructure protects horses, pasture and a ranch's ability to keep breeding.
Drilling, pumps, pipe, tanks, excavation, electrical work, permits, hauling and maintenance can support contractors and suppliers while reducing long-term risk to horses and farms.
Hay or feed may pay growers, balers, loaders, freight companies, ports, shipping, island or regional haulers, unloading crews and distribution labor before it ever reaches a horse.
Sampling, laboratory fees, veterinarians, researchers, universities, data work, archival recovery, publication and education can create knowledge while supporting professional and institutional work.
Grant-ready outcomes
Show which horses, reproductive animals, family lines, registrations, genetic resources, or preservation ranches were protected or strengthened.
Track water security, pasture recovery, drought resilience, infrastructure durability, and land stewardship when the project supports them.
Record purchases, freight, labor, veterinary and reproductive services, contractors, suppliers, local spending, and carefully sourced downstream estimates.
Public accountability
Trust matters
Project claims, allocations, and economic-impact figures should be sourced and reviewable. Private recipient information can remain private while public totals remain accountable.
Conservation Legacy is not currently represented as a 501(c)(3), so the platform does not promise tax deductibility.
