It’s been nearly four months since we launched California for All Animals, a five-year, state-funded project to improve the lives of at-risk animals and provide much-needed resources to shelters that serve this vulnerable population. We invited you—along with California shelters, advocates, and animal welfare organizations who believe in fierce compassion for animals and people—to join the movement and dream different to do different for the animals and communities across our state.
You answered the call, and since then, we’ve given away more than 90 grants totaling over $440,000 to shelters from Yreka to Chula Vista, and with our latest Open Grant period running through June, we’re just getting started!
In our first #allthenews newsletter, you can read about the highlights of our collective work so far, from installing double-compartment housing to level up health and wellness for cats and kittens, as well as puppies and small dogs, to kicking off a Cal for All Call series to support shelter leaders in building relationships and nurturing healthy organizational cultures that benefit animals and the people who care for them.
You’ll also get to know California State Director Allison Cardona and hear more about how we are building a humane-hearted California #alltogether, community by community.
Share this newsletter! If you’re in California, invite shelters in your region to join California for All Animals and apply for an Open Grant if they haven’t already. Applications are open through June 30, and it takes just four simple steps. If your organization serves animals, but you’re not an animal shelter, connect with your local shelter and explore opportunities for collaboration and program development. Questions? Email us at email at grants@californiaforallanimals.com; we’re here to help!
Thank you for all you do to achieve our shared goal of matching every animal in need with the right outcome through the right care, delivered in the right place and at the right time. And thank you for the reminder that each of us holds the capacity to care for animals—and for each other.
