Description
This program provides flexible, multi-year general support grants to organizations working to improve the welfare of small companion animals—primarily cats and dogs—across Maine. Established in 2007 and supported by several charitable foundations, the initiative aims to strengthen the capacity of Maine-based groups engaged in population control, surrender prevention, humane education, spay/neuter services, veterinary care, and pet care-related transportation. Funding is intended for organizations whose mission centers on improving the lives of cats and dogs, supporting both operational and programmatic needs.
