It’s Open Grant Season in California!

California for All Animals is committed to helping you advance the welfare of both animals and their people in your community and the well-being of your staff through focused training, expert mentorship, tailored resources, and the right funding to support your vision. We are ecstatic to announce our next round of funding available to ALL private shelter organizations (with or without a municipal contract), animal service agencies, and municipal shelters.

We welcome Open Grant applications May 1–June 30, 2022; grants from $25,000 to $200,000 will be awarded to shelters and focused on the following categories: 

• Outcomes (Adoptions, Return to Home, and Return to Community)
• Field Services and Control
• Care of Animals in the Shelter
• Intake Management and Community Support 

We’ll be holding Zoom office hours to answer questions on May 3 from 3 p.m.– 4 p.m. and June 13 from 10 a.m.–11 a.m. You can also sign up on Calendly for half-hour, one-on-one chats with California Director Allison Cardona on May 4 and 5. 

Just like you, we believe that every animal deserves the Right Care, provided in the Right Place, at the Right Time to achieve the Right Outcome. We also believe every person working in a shelter deserves access to the tools they need to do their job well and to feel satisfaction from the hard work they do. Together we can make California a place where families are truly supported and shelters are able to offer the care that is right for each situation at the moment it’s needed the most.
