Initiative to replace horse-drawn carriages with electric ones.
One of the Foundation’s core initiatives is to replace
horse-drawn carriages with electric carriages in American cities. Horse-drawn carriages are a cruel and outdated form of transportation. Horses are forced to work long hours in hot and cold weather, and they are often abused and neglected. Electric carriages, on the other hand, are a clean, safe, and humane alternative. They are also more efficient, which means that they can create new jobs and boost the economy.
Here are some of the benefits of replacing horse-drawn carriages with electric carriages:
- Electric carriages are more humane. Horses are not forced to work long hours in hot and cold weather, and they are not abused or neglected.
- Electric carriages are safer. Horses are unpredictable animals, and they can be dangerous to passengers and drivers. Electric carriages are much safer.
- Electric carriages are more efficient. They use less energy than horse-drawn carriages, which means that they are better for the environment.
- Electric carriages create new jobs. The transition to electric carriages will create new jobs in the manufacturing, installation, and operation of electric carriages.
- Electric carriages boost the economy. The transition to electric carriages will boost the economy by creating new jobs and stimulating demand for electric carriages.
The Brady Hunter Foundation is committed to creating a more compassionate world for animals and people. The Foundation believes that the transition
to electric carriages is a step in the right direction. The Foundation is working to make this vision a reality.
Humane Society of Greater Miami
The Brady Hunter Foundation is thrilled to announce the successful conclusion of its “Clear the Shelter” initiative, which took place from June 23rd to 25th. This special event was dedicated to finding forever homes for cats and dogs who had been in shelters for six months or longer, and it exceeded expectations by providing these deserving animals with a chance at a brighter future.
During the “Clear the Shelter” event, adoption fees were waived for eligible cats and dogs. This gesture encouraged an outpouring of support from the community, with families and individuals coming forward to adopt and provide loving homes for these animals.
South Florida Wildlife Center
The Brady Hunter Foundation is proud to announce its sponsorship of a new ambulance, a critical addition to the South Florida Wildlife Center’s (SFWC) operations. This contribution not only ensures the procurement of a life-saving vehicle but also supports the salary of a dedicated driver for one year. This significant investment will significantly enhance the SFWC’s capacity to rescue, rehabilitate, and release injured wildlife across the South Florida region.
This specially equipped vehicle will serve as a lifeline for wildlife in distress, enabling swift response and transport to the SFWC’s facilities, where veterinarians and caregivers will provide medical attention and rehabilitation.
With this enhanced capability, the South Florida Wildlife Center is poised to make an even more substantial impact in the region.
Community Police Reporting Foundation
In partnership with the Community-Police Relations Foundation, The Brady Hunter Foundation is empowering the CPR Foundation to expand its efforts in the fight against criminal animal cruelty and the provision of vital medical assistance to distressed animals, encompassing dogs, cats, rabbits, and horses. This collaboration ensures that animals receive the compassion and care they rightfully deserve.
The CPR Foundation’s comprehensive approach to fostering safe and thriving communities across the nation perfectly aligns with The Brady Hunter Foundation’s overarching mission. This partnership allows the CPR Foundation to continue leaving a lasting impact on society, further strengthening the heart of our communities through their shared commitment to animal welfare and societal well-being.

Preserving our beaches to protect both our shores as well as marine life is an important part of our mission, which volunteers will repeat several times each year.
The Campaign Against Hunger Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization
Dr. Melony Samuels, Executive Director and Founder of The Campaign Against Hunger, is a champion among community leaders. Before becoming TCAH’s fearless leader in 1998, she was led by compassion to support a struggling single mother out of her own pocket. Dr. Samuels knew this would make a difference for one family but recognized that the fight against hunger goes far beyond individual acts of kindness. It takes a village. From the start, a community’s approach to caring has directed everything TCAH does.
Over the past twenty-two years, The Campaign Against Hunger has grown and stretched from operating out of a small pantry in a church basement to meeting some of the day’s toughest challenges–like youth empowerment, nutrition education, and community engagement–head-on. We have experienced a few name changes (Grace International → Bed-Stuy Campaign Against Hunger → The Campaign Against Hunger), served neighbors in 150 zip codes with food and other vital programs and services, and sought to bring food justice to New York City along the way.
The once small basement pantry has become a SuperPantry emporium and acts as a model for client choice. We now offer hundreds of nutrition education classes, workshops, and cooking demonstrations each year for our clients (or at least we did in pre-COVID times–working to adapt our programming now!). Our urban farms and the Green Teens who maintain them have continued to infuse heart-healthy fruits and vegetables into food deserts and provide gainful employment to local youth. We now offer a suite of social services, including SNAP registration, health insurance enrollment, tax filing preparation, and much more.
Our story continues to evolve as food insecurity, economic inequality, and health disparities continue to plague our communities.
The Brady Hunter Scholarship Fund for Veterinary School
We are thrilled to introduce the Brady Hunter Scholarship Fund, a partnership between the Brady Hunter Foundation (BHF) and New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Established in honor of Juneteenth, this initiative aims to empower African American students in New York City and promote diversity within the veterinary field.
The field of veterinary medicine, while playing a crucial role in animal health and welfare, faces a significant shortage of African American representation. This underrepresentation not only hampers diversity within the profession but also limits the opportunities available to African American individuals who aspire to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. Understanding the statistics surrounding this issue sheds light on the urgency of addressing the imbalance.
According to data from the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), African Americans make up only a small percentage of practicing veterinarians in the United States. As of the latest available data, African Americans represent less than 2% of all veterinarians, despite comprising over 13% of the U.S. population.
Recognizing the urgency of this issue, the Brady Hunter Foundation is taking action. During each year of the Adams’ Administration, our scholarship fund will provide a new four-year scholarship, covering tuition expenses, to an exceptional African American student in New York City. This financial support will enable each year’s selected student to pursue a degree in veterinary medicine, a field that greatly benefits from increased diversity.
Through the establishment of the Brady Hunter Scholarship Fund, we aim to empower African American students in New York City by providing these students with the financial support and opportunities they need to pursue a degree in veterinary medicine. By investing in these students’ education, we aspire to break down barriers and inspire more African American students to join the field.
We are honored to collaborate with Mayor Eric Adams, whose commitment to fostering diversity and promoting equal opportunities aligns perfectly with our mission. The Brady Hunter Scholarship Fund embodies BHF’s unwavering commitment to equality, justice, and expanding educational opportunities. We firmly believe in the transformative power of education to break down barriers and create a brighter future for individuals and communities.
iHeart Animal Rescue
The Brady Hunter Foundation, in collaboration with I Heart Animal Rescue, has made a significant impact on the lives of animals in need. Our dedication to sponsoring the care and rehabilitation of neglected animals has resulted in heartwarming success stories.
In some cases, animals born into families without the means or plans for their care faced dire circumstances. Surrendered to I Heart Animal Rescue due to illness and, in some cases, Parvo, these animals needed extensive medical attention and incurred substantial expenses. The Brady Hunter Foundation stepped in to cover these bills, ensuring “The Parvo Pups” received the necessary care to recover.
Our enduring partnership with I Heart Animal Rescue extends to cases like Justice, a dog brutally stabbed multiple times in Pompano Beach. We provided the funding needed for Justice’s medical care, boarding, and recovery, ultimately finding him a loving home.
We also helped Sweet Ellie Belly, a baiting victim found wandering the streets. With medical care and love, Ellie made a remarkable recovery.
These stories showcase our commitment to animal welfare and the positive outcomes that can be achieved through our partnership with I Heart Animal Rescue.
The Dian Fossey Fund
BHF has recently partnered with this organization that was started in 1967 by Dian Fossey, to ensure a future for gorillas, their habitat and the communities that surround them. With our donation, we will fund the “Gorilla Protection Team and Vehicle Purchase” (consisting of two patrol teams, supplies, equipment and food for staff for a year for 25 eco-guards and landowners who volunteer their time to search for and dismantle snares). It will also enable the purchase of a co-branded vehicle to support the logistics of having these teams in the field. that will aid in the daily protection of endangered gorillas.
*There are 200+ trackers in Rwanda and DR Congo in 2022 they removed 456 snares from volcanoes national park and 2500 snares from their community reserve. The local community has also been impacted- Last year, they even lost an infant to a snare too.
Biscayne Bay Recovery with Miami Dade County and The Miami Foundation
The Brady Hunter Foundation joined forces with the Miami Foundation, Miami-Dade County, and Volunteer Clean Up to host an International Coastal Cleanup Day event at the Pelican Harbor Marina. In a bid to amplify the impact of this endeavor, the Brady Hunter Foundation championed the cause by sponsoring specialty license plates, a crucial component of our expansive educational campaign devoted to safeguarding Biscayne Bay.
As a testament to our commitment to environmental conservation, the Brady Hunter Foundation pledged to donate 50 cents for every pound of trash collected during this cleanup effort to the Sea Bird Station. The collective effort of volunteers and participants resulted in a staggering 22,233 pounds of garbage being collected across all 58 cleanup sites. With a generous donation rate of $0.50 per pound, we have every confidence that these funds will be utilized to their fullest potential.
The impact of this event extends far beyond quantifiable figures—it is truly immeasurable. Our joint initiative not only removed a substantial amount of waste from our coastal areas but also heightened awareness of the critical need to protect and preserve the natural beauty of Biscayne Bay.
