2024 Grant Report
Animal-Related
By the grant deadline of October 31, 2024, the Foundation received a record number of applications – a total of twenty-two.
One was found to lack a 501c3 and therefore ineligible. After preliminary reviews, we contacted six applicants and suggested changes to increase their likelyhood of funding. Four of the applicants modified their requests.
On November 10, 2024, the Board reviewed the submissions and approved nineteen of them.
In the context of our five funding priorities, the following approvals were made:
- Purchasable Goods and Equipment. Computers (5), outdoor winter shelter, surgery table, traps for TNR (15), vet equipment (including scales, exam table, microchip scanner), cat towers (6), calming beds (8), small dog kennels (6-8), washer, dryer, dishwasher, waterfowl shelters (2), and office equipment.
