Description
The Remy Fund for Pets and Animal Services is an endowed fund of the Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham supporting traditional companion animals—dogs, cats, and horses—and the humans they touch. Birmingham-area philanthropist Ken Jackson established the fund in 2010 in memory of his dog, Remy. The fund began awarding annual grants in 2011 and supports animal-focused nonprofits serving Jefferson, Shelby, St. Clair, Blount, and Walker counties.
Supported work includes rescue, shelter, and adoption programs; spay/neuter services; animal-assisted therapy; and education and advocacy promoting humane and dignified treatment of companion animals. Requests may seek general organizational support or funding for specific projects, with preference given to projects with clear goals and objectives. The Remy Fund Grant Committee reviews applicants in depth, including through in-person and virtual site visits.
