To reduce adoption costs to seniors

Shelters should use the publicly listed website/email route to request participation, describe a senior adoption fee reduction program, and propose an award size in the foundation’s typical grant band. Applications appear relationship-light but program-specific—concise emails with proof of nonprofit status, program scope, expected senior adoptions, and a clear reimbursement/reporting plan are the appropriate first step; follow-up relationships with the named executive contact can improve chances.
