Each grant awarded is more than a gift—it’s a ripple of impact. A chance to empower the visionaries and doers who are out there, every day, building a more humane, sustainable world. Together, we’re constructing a new platform for long-term impact—one rooted in shared values, collective action, and strategic generosity. This is how we lead with compassion. This is how we drive innovation. This is how we protect what matters most.

Spring 2026 Application Cycle - NOW CLOSED

Our second grant application cycle is now closed. All submissions are currently under review, and applicants will be notified of funding decisions by the end of April.

Our Spring 2026 Application Cycle was open on February 15, 2026, and closed on March 15, 2026, at 5 pm PST. We welcomed registered 501(c)(3) nonprofits, from around the country, working on innovative and impactful projects in animal welfare to apply. International organizations must have a 501(c)(3) designation or an established, documented fiscal sponsorship with a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

Please note: During the Spring 2026 cycle, we limited applications to 80. Once 80 applications were received, we no longer accepted additional applications. Grantees were encouraged to prepare and submit their grant applications as early in the grant cycle as possible. The website will be updated during the cycle to reflect the status of applications.

Application Process - NOW CLOSED

Please download and review the Grant Guideline and Process document.
If your organization is eligible, prepare the Grant Application.
Submit the application and all required attachments as one, single PDF during the open application cycle.

Communication Guidelines: To be equitable and impartial to all grantees, we are limited in the types of communication and feedback we provide. Our grant team can provide feedback on eligibility and basic alignment with our funding priorities via email. We are also happy to answer questions about the mechanics of the application and required attachments by email. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide consultations via phone or video conferencing. In addition, we are unable to advise on specific program/project requests, review answers to narrative questions, or speculate on the preferences of the Advisory Granting Committee.
