The Equine Welfare Data Collective (EWDC) collects national data on equine welfare from 501c3 or state registered nonprofits and municipal organizations that function as transition centers, adoption centers, rescues, sanctuaries, shelters, direct placement programs, and other services involved in equine welfare.
Your data contribution today provides for more accurate study results to help you understand and communicate the scope of the issues you are tackling and better serve your community.
Here is what you'll need to complete the survey today:
1. Your organization's EIN Number. This is used for internal record-keeping purposes as an identifier to ensure there are no duplicate data submissions. We never share your EIN, or any other identifying information you provide.
2. Current records from July 1, 2023-December 31, 2023. We collect data by category (e.g. number of intakes via owner surrender, agency transfer, law enforcement confiscation, etc.) so it is important to ensure you have access to your organization's complete records. We will be collecting data by category.
We use the term "equine" throughout our survey. Equine encompasses any member of the Equidae family including horses, ponies, donkeys, zebras, and any hybrids (mules, hinnies, zedonks, etc.).
Your privacy is important to us. We understand your organization is sharing sensitive data with the EWDC. We never share any information without your explicit permission. Your data remains anonymous when analyzed. Any identifying records you submit with this survey today are used for verification purposes only.
We sincerely thank you for taking the time to submit your data. If you have any questions regarding the submission of your data, record keeping, other ways to submit data, or any other aspect of the EWDC, please contact Kelsey Buckley at EWDC@HorseCouncil.org.
