State: Iowa
City: Cedar Rapids and Marion
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 06/30/2023
Size of the Grant: $2,500
Details:
The Friends Helping Friends Foundation (FHFF) is a compassionate advocate for the Cedar Rapids Animal Care and Control (CRACC). FHFF mission is to enhance the care for homeless and displaced animals by building resources, leading development, and advocating for the success of Cedar Rapids Animal Care and Control.
Because the mission of the FHFF is to advocate for the success of the Cedar Rapids Animal Care and Control, the goal of your grant proposal should succinctly describe how your program/project initiative will impact the work of CRACC.
Examples:
- Providing emergency animal care or veterinary services for a homeless animal, thereby alleviating pressure on the CRACC shelter;
- Providing spay/neuter of community cats, thereby reducing the number of stray/feral cats in community as well as reducing the number of stray/feral cats taken to the shelter;
- Providing FREE microchip identification and registration clinics, thereby increasing the return-to-owner rate of lost animals that might otherwise go unclaimed at the shelter; or
- Providing humane education programming in the schools or responsible pet ownership training for new pet owners, including an introduction to local pet ordinances, State and local rabies requirements, leash laws, etc
These are just a few examples of the many ways an organization could creatively develop a program that would help to enhance the care for homeless and displaced animals in community.
