Community Collaborative Grant Guidelines

Maddie's Fund^® wants to help communities achieve no-kill status, whereby all their healthy and treatable shelter dogs and cats are guaranteed loving homes. To achieve this goal, Maddie's Fund intends to financially support community-wide collaborations of adoption guarantee organizations, animal control and traditional shelters, and private practice veterinarians. Currently, Maddie's Fund is interested in funding communities that are saving all (or a majority) of their healthy shelter dogs and cats and are looking for assistance to save their treatable shelter dogs and cats. (For an explanation of these terms, please refer to the Animal Organization Categories and Health & Behavior Categories for Animal Shelters documents.)

There are two programs within the Community Collaborative Project, Maddie's^® Pet Rescue Project (adoption program) and Maddie's^® Spay/Neuter Project (spay/neuter program), which both must be applied for together.

If your community is interested in applying for a Community Collaborative Project Grant, please contact Maddie's Fund at grants@maddiesfund.org or 510.337.8989.
