Ideal Applicant
501(c)(3) animal welfare organizations (shelters, rescues, sanctuaries, rehabilitators) seeking unrestricted general operating support at modest grant sizes.
Good Fit
- • Mission focused on animal rescue, sheltering, sanctuary, or wildlife rehabilitation.
- • Request for unrestricted general operating support or small program support in the ~$5k–$35k range.
- • Ability to submit a concise email application and required nonprofit documentation by the stated Nov 30 deadline.
- • New or smaller organizations without prior relationship (the funder has a high rate of new grantees).
Geography
Observed giving in the latest year reached 24 different states, indicating a broadly national footprint, though Wisconsin received a disproportionate share (about 27% of dollars).
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the foundation made 48 grants to 48 distinct recipients across multiple missions within animal welfare, and the portfolio shows many independent nonprofit grantees rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness includes explicit application instructions by email and a deadline, and 43 of 48 recipients in the latest year were new to the portfolio, so unfamiliar applicants appear likely to gain entry.
