Description
This grant opportunity from the ASPCA Right Horse program aims to significantly increase equine adoptions and shelter capacity, as well as to help keep owned equines in their homes through safety net programming. Funding supports projects that either boost adoption/capacity or provide resources and services that prevent owner relinquishment. Proposals should address a clear problem, outline the program, quantify the expected impact, and present a plan for sustainability. Innovative, data-driven solutions—especially those that reduce shelter length of stay or expand community support—are encouraged.
