Grant Eligibility Requirements Applications
Maddie's Fund - Medical Equipment Grant Guidelines Maddie's® Medical Equipment Grant Guidelines Maddie's Fund® offers grants to adoption guarantee shelters for the purchase of new medical equipment to benefit the animals in their care. Adoption guarantee shelters that are located in the U.S. and employ at least one full-time veterinarian (not an equivalency) who spends at least 50% of his/her time caring for the animals in their shelter are eligible to apply. An adoption guarantee shelter saves all the healthy and treatable animals under their care, with euthanasia reserved only for unhealthy & untreatable animals. An adoption guarantee organization can be an animal shelter, rescue group, foster care organization, or sanctuary. To qualify for a Maddie's® Medical Equipment grant, adoption guarantee shelters must agree to annually publish their shelter statistics using the Maddie's Fund Animal Statistics Table in primary publications and on their website.
Maddie's Fund - Lifesaving Award Guidelines Home » Grant Giving » Lifesaving Awards » Grant Guidelines This grant opportunity will be ending in 2014. Currently we're only accepting inquiries from strategic communities that have achieved and sustained no-kill status for at least two years. Applications are no longer being accepted for communities that have achieved an adoption guarantee for healthy pets. Maddie's Fund® has established special Lifesaving Awards to recognize communities that are leading the way in saving animal lives. These awards are designed to acknowledge the outstanding contributions being made by coalitions consisting of Traditional Shelters, Adoption Guarantee organizations, and Animal Control agencies in which all groups have already implemented an adoption guarantee for all healthy and treatable shelter pets in their target community and are likely to sustain it in the future (No-Kill Community). This award is community-based and must be applied for on behalf of a coalition.
