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 or free-roaming cats. Funds may also support rabies vaccines.
The fund supports existing programs, seed funding to establish services where none exist, and innovative programs that increase access to spay/neuter services for low-income pet owners. Its priorities include cats and dogs belonging to low-income owners and free-roaming cats. Funding preference goes to programs that make the most of grant resources—those that “stretch the dollar.”
