Description
The Community Foundation of the North State created the Animal Welfare Endowment Fund to support the care of animals in Shasta, Siskiyou, and Tehama counties. Its general operating grants support organizations whose primary work promotes animal welfare through care for homeless or owned pets, local wildlife, or working animals.
The fund includes work such as reducing shelter deaths, helping people keep pets in their homes, wildlife rescue and rehabilitation, and caring for organizationally owned animals that serve local residents. Competitive applications show collaborative relationships with other organizations and use data to demonstrate both the need for the work and its impact.
