Details:
Those eligible for Miccio Foundation grants in support of Iowa’s animals will be organizations that have demonstrated commitment to animal welfare. Examples include, but are not limited to, private and governmental animal shelters, humane societies, rescue groups, volunteer foster organizations, and local animal control agencies. They will not support activities inconsistent with federal, state or local laws/ordinances, and they reserve the right to request additional information prior to making funding decisions.
The Miccio Foundation’s focus is to support organizations involved in animal welfare (501c3 status is required). Projects eligible for funding are those that will have an immediate, direct and measurable impact on improving animal welfare in a target community. Grants can be for projects such as spay/neuter programs, facility renovation, medical care, humane education, caging, and adoption support.
The Foundation awards standard grants to organizations licensed by the State of Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship (IDALS) as Pounds or Shelters. Typically, Standard Miccio grants are funded at $3,500. Standard grant requests may not exceed $10,000.
Projects of greatest interest are those that include:
- renovating facilities to ensure the health and well-being of animals prior to adoption and/or improving the efficiency of overall daily operations
- developing and sustaining alliances that may include sharing resources to accomplish specific activities, particularly spay/neuter, emergency transportation, and professional services
- supporting areas of the state where resources for animals are limited or unavailable.
