Equine Welfare Data Collective Launches 2023 Data Drive
The Equine Welfare Data Collective (EWDC) is ready to kickstart the 2023 Data Drive. The EWDC works with organizations and individuals to accumulate, analyze and report data to improve the services available for transitioning and at-risk equines across the United States.
The EWDC uses surveys to collect national data on equines at-risk and in transition from transition centers, adoption centers, rescues, sanctuaries, shelters, and other equine welfare organizations. Data analysis is published every year with each report being a snapshot of a of a 6-month time-period as told by the numerous 501c3 and municipal organizations that take custody of at-risk equines and those in transition across the United States.
Any 501c3 equine welfare organization that completes the current EWDC survey by March 17, 2023, will be entered in a raffle to win either a $150 or $100 VISA gift card sponsored by AHC Advantage Plan and our partner, Equine Discounts.
Any organization that has already submitted data for all 12 months separately or has completed the aggregated survey will be automatically entered. The contest begins March 6 and ends March 17. The winners will be announced March 18.
The EDWC launched its first survey in November 2018. The Collective was created by the United Horse Coalition, a program of the American Horse Council (AHC), with funding partners being the ASPCA Right Horse, and the Foundation for the Horse (formerly the AAEP Foundation).
Participation in the EWDC is free, and all data collected is aggregated so no individual organization is identified. Organizations that contribute data are first to receive reports, invited to participate in round tables, and are given an EWDC badge for their website to publicly demonstrate their commitment to the mission.
