Description
The Harry W. and Carolyn W. Galbraith Memorial Fund, administered by East Tennessee Foundation, supports animal care organizations with spaying and neutering programs. Established in 2014, the fund primarily covers spay/neuter expenses for cats and dogs, including pets and stray cats. Its focus is on services for low-income owners of cats and dogs and programs addressing free-roaming cats. Grant funds may also support rabies vaccines.
The fund supports seed funding to start programs where none exist, as well as innovative programs designed to increase spay/neuter services for low-income pet owners. Funding preference goes to programs that make effective use of grant support and “stretch the dollar.”
