Distributed over 90 grants that funded like-minded programs and organizations
New York, NY (January 31, 2020) – SPCA International (SPCAI) had a record-breaking year awarding more grant funding in 2019 than ever before. This grant funding provides support to vital programs that will ensure the safety and well-being of animals across the globe.
The funding is distributed through SPCAI’s Shelter Support Fund which supports and partners with smaller animal welfare organizations domestically and worldwide to increase their impact. In 2019, SPCAI awarded over 90 grants, totaling over $750,000. Since 2007, SPCAI has assisted animal shelters and rescue groups in every U.S. state and over 70 countries around the world.
“2019 was an incredible year for shelter grants. We are looking forward to expanding our reach with more amazing recipients in 2020,” said Meredith Ayan, Executive Director, SPCA International. “Each one of these deserving organizations are making a difference in their community by making the world a better place for animals in need.”
The grant program focuses on smaller shelters and rescue groups with little to no donor base. SPCAI funding allows these organizations to rescue, treat, vaccinate, sterilize and home more animals.
