Summary
This grant opportunity offers funding to strengthen animal health services and improve access to care in communities across the United States and certain U.S. territories. The program is designed to support initiatives that promote the wellbeing of pets and the people who care for them, particularly in areas where financial barriers or limited resources make access to veterinary services more difficult. Funding is available to help organizations expand preventive care, respond to natural disasters or emergencies, and develop sustainable programs that address gaps in animal health services.
Eligible applicants are primarily nonprofit organizations with recognized tax-exempt status. These may include animal shelters, rescue groups, community clinics, and organizations that provide outreach, mobile veterinary services, or spay and neuter programs. In some cases, licensed veterinary professionals such as veterinarians and credentialed technicians may qualify for smaller grants that assist with travel or volunteer-related expenses tied to service projects in underserved communities. Funding is not generally intended for for-profit businesses or individuals outside of qualified veterinary professionals participating in charitable care efforts.
Grant award amounts vary depending on the type of program and scope of work proposed. Larger community-focused grants may provide funding of up to approximately $10,000 or more to support medical supplies, equipment, program expansion, or emergency response efforts. Smaller awards, often around $3,000, may be available to eligible professionals contributing time and expertise to charitable initiatives.
Overall, the intent of this funding opportunity is to build stronger community partnerships, expand access to essential veterinary care, and create lasting improvements in animal health services. By supporting both organizational capacity and direct service delivery, the program aims to create meaningful impact in communities where support is needed most.
