Maddie's Fund Announces New Spay/Neuter and Medical Equipment Grants Programs

Maddie’s Fund, a family foundation established to help fund the creation of a "no-kill nation," is offering new spay/neuter grants for U.S. counties with Live Animal Release Rates of 40 percent or less — counties where animal control and rescue shelters are euthanizing 60 percent or more of the total shelter population of dogs and cats. These grants will provide up to $200,000 over two years. Applicants must submit a proposal outlining a county spay/neuter program that targets problem areas which generate high shelter admissions of dogs or cats. Counties must have a human population of 50,000 or more. The lead agency can be a 501(c)(3) animal welfare organization, a municipal animal control agency, or a veterinary medical association. Surgeries can be performed in nonprofit spay/neuter clinics, governmental spay/neuter clinics, or private veterinary hospitals.

Maddie's Fund has also announced that grants for medical equipment are now available to any adoption-guarantee shelter that is located in the United States and employs at least one full-time veterinarian. Adoption-guarantee shelters save all of the healthy and treatable animals under their care, with euthanasia reserved only for unhealthy & untreatable animals. Grant size is determined by the impact the grant will have on saving the healthy and treatable shelter dogs and cats in the community.
