Ideal Applicant
A small, U.S.-based animal rescue or shelter seeking a microgrant or general support (typical awards around $5K–$10K), with a clear local impact story and an existing relationship or nomination pathway.
Good Fit
- • Small animal rescue or shelter mission (dogs, cats, small animals).
- • Request size consistent with recent grants (roughly $5,000–$10,000).
- • Clear, tangible local impact or program need that fits microgrant funding.
- • Existing connection, referral, or prior contact with the foundation or its network.
Geography
In the latest year grants were distributed across five states (CO, MT, NY, OR, AZ) and 82% of dollars went out of the foundation's home state, indicating a multi-state footprint rather than strictly local giving.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows ten distinct independent recipients receiving awards, which indicates a moderate spread of grantees for a microfoundation; financial concentration exists (top five got 56%), but many independent recipients were funded.
New Applicants
The foundation's application information and filings indicate funding is by preselection only, so unsolicited applicants are unlikely to access funding; observed data show the 2024 recipients were new, but the declared invitation-only policy and limited multi-year history make open access improbable.
