Maddie’s Fund® invests its resources in a commitment to keeping pets and people together, creating a safety net of care for animals in need and operating within a culture of inclusiveness and humility. We are working towards the day when the animal welfare field more accurately represents the diversity of our country.
We introduced a new grant opportunity to support the operations of U.S.-based Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC)-led government agencies or nonprofit animal welfare or veterinary medicine organizations. Our focus was on organizations who primarily deal with dogs and/or cats and/or their people.
This $1 million grant opportunity was intended to provide operating support to qualifying organizations. Grants ranged from $5,000 to $50,000 depending on community size, organization size and demographics and impact the organization has in their community.
Please help us congratulate the following grant recipients!
