s w farms | Application Preview
S W Farms is seeking government grants to enhance their facility and operations significantly. With an initial request of $200,000, the funding would support the construction of a new facility that includes a quarantine area for incoming horses, a specialized shower, 6-12 stalls, and an indoor education space. This investment would also facilitate the addition of two socialization arenas for horses.
If awarded $730,000, the farm plans to acquire and fence off an adjacent 10 acres, establishing a horse sanctuary with lean-tos for shelter and expanded storage for hay, along with a larger indoor area for hay and winter shelter.
Their business strategy focuses on increasing advertising, hiring more staff, and modernizing their facility to attract more clients. The justification for grant approval is centered on their mission to rescue horses while providing educational opportunities for children and adults.
S W Farms faces competition from kill pens that slaughter horses for meat but holds a unique advantage as a female, veteran, and immigrant-owned business. This distinction allows them to serve as inspiring role models for aspiring women entrepreneurs.
