About our grants

Our grants help charities across the UK improve pet welfare, support rescue and rehoming services, and keep more pets in safe, loving homes. Through funding for facilities, equipment, services and preventative projects, we help organisations make a lasting difference to pets and the people who care for them.

Our grant programmes

We currently offer funding through two grant programmes. Select the option that best matches your organisation and the work you do.

Rescue and Rehoming Grants

We provide one-off grants to UK-based pet rescue organisations to support their essential work. Funding can be used for day-to-day costs, equipment and improvements to facilities.

Preventing Pet Relinquishment Grants

This programme supports projects that help keep pets in loving homes and out of rescue. Funding is available for both one-off and multi-year initiatives that support pet owners in times of crisis or help reduce stray populations.
