Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-sized charities or local rescue groups (especially animal welfare/rescue organizations) seeking modest one-time grants or project support across the U.S.
Good Fit
- • Work in animal welfare, animal rescue, or related shelter services.
- • Project or need that can be supported with relatively small grants (typically under $5,000).
- • Ability to accept one-off grants and report outcomes informally.
- • Willingness to apply by mail or phone-based contact rather than an online portal.
- • Geographic flexibility (applicant can be located anywhere in the U.S.; California has received a large share recently).
Geography
The foundation funded recipients in 41 states in the latest year, showing a national footprint; however, California accounted for about one-third of dollars in 2023, indicating some state concentration.
Recipient Variety
The latest year included roughly 161 distinct recipients across many mission areas, with a clear tilt toward animal welfare but a wide mix of other causes, and a substantial number of both returning and new grantees.
New Applicants
Direct evidence supports new entrants: 77 new recipients appeared in 2023 (~48% of that year’s recipients), and the filings list application information plus a named mailing/phone contact, making it plausible unfamiliar applicants can access funding.
