Description
The Remy Fund for Pets and Animal Services, managed by the Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham, provides annual grants to nonprofit organizations working to improve the lives of traditional companion animals—dogs, cats, and horses—in Jefferson, Shelby, St. Clair, Blount, and Walker counties in Alabama. Grants support both organizational needs and specific projects, including rescue and shelter efforts, adoption, spay/neuter programs, animal-assisted therapy, and humane education and advocacy. The fund was established in 2010 to honor the memory of Ken Jackson’s dog, Remy, and is sustained by an endowment and community donors. The grant committee conducts thorough reviews, including site visits, to ensure effective use of funds.
