Thank you for your interest in Maddie's Fund grant opportunities! Please read through all of this information before applying for a grant.
To be considered for a grant from Maddie's Fund®, your organization must meet the following criteria. The links below will give you more information about each requirement. If you are unsure if you meet the requirements, or you need help in meeting them, we're happy to talk with you. Please reach out to us at 925.310.5450 or [email protected].
Organizations must:
- Be a U.S. based 501c3 public charity or government animal well-being organization focused on dogs and/or cats. At this time, we are unable to accept applications from U.S. Territories. Learn more
- Publicly share your annual statistics on your website. If your organization shelters pets (has intake/outcome data), you must also share the benchmark you use for measuring your success (for example, Live Release Rate, Save Rate, etc.) and the formula you use to calculate your benchmark on the same page as your annual statistics.

Grant recipients will be asked to honor Maddie, the little dog who inspired a movement, through their social media and donor recognition about this grant on their website, donor wall, annual report, newsletter or other promotional materials or marketing communications, as appropriate.
Grant recipients must agree to provide a report on how their grant funds were spent and the results of implementing their program. Depending on the grant, this may be requested in the form of a narrative report, financial information or Zoom call.
