Animal caregiver grants are open to organizations that take care of animals in shelters or other facilities.
Since domesticated animals often cannot fend for themselves, grants are available to organizations that take care of the animals in shelters or other care facilities. These grants are generally provided by private funds and organizations, and most of these grants must be used for particular projects. These organizations mainly provide mini-grants, but actual grant amounts will vary. Some grants are open only to members of the foundation or group.
Arthur L. and Elaine V. Johnson Foundation
This program seeks to ensure that German shepherd seeing eye dogs and other animals that are used to assist the disabled, blind or other sight-impaired people obtain adequate care and support. Priority is given to projects that effect some type of long-term transformation within companies, and organizations that offers service animals to disabled individuals at no cost are preferred to those that charge a fee. This program is open to the following organizations: 501(c)(3), 509(a)(2), 509(a)(1) and 509(a)(3). Grants applications are due in July, and grants are awarded on a yearly basis. Grant amounts range from $500 to $180,000.
