Preventing Pet Relinquishment
We provide funding to projects which aim to keep pets with their owners and out of rescue. This includes projects providing emergency pet fostering for people facing crisis, subsidised veterinary care, neutering schemes, and pet food banks
How much do we fund?
We provide one-off grants or up to three years of funding, to a maximum of £80,000 per year. The amount awarded is subject to the size of the organisation.
What do we fund?
We are looking for transformational projects, which aim to support the welfare needs of pets in local communities. All proposals must be well-researched and include relevant evidence, including budgetary information and impact data.
How often are grants reviewed?
This is a rolling programme, with decisions being made multiple times throughout the year.
How often can we apply?
12 months must have elapsed since your charity last received funds from the Pets Foundation. If your charity received a one-off grant or received your final year of multi-year funding in 2024 please get in touch with us for advice.
