CLOSED Apply For a Pet Pantry Grant

APPLICATIONS CLOSED MARCH 13, 2021

COVID-19 is affecting communities across the country. People are struggling to provide the essentials for their pets (food, medication, kitty litter, grooming supplies, etc.), but we know that does not mean they love their pets any less. Pet pantries have become a vital lifeline for many pet owners and help organizations like yours reduce the population of animals in shelters by assisting pet owners before they resort to giving up their companion animals. That’s why we’ve been raising money to help you in your efforts to save animals during this critical time.

At the end of 2020 we got together with our friends at Purina, Chewy, and Tito’s Handmade Vodka to raise money so we could help animal welfare organizations do even more great work. Our generous supporters donated so that we could provide you with grants to enrich or start a pet pantry program. The folks at Purina, Chewy, and Tito’s were kind enough to match the donations received up to $10,000 each.

Now we want to extend those funds to you, so you can help the pets in your community. We will provide cash, product, and gift card grants to organizations that apply through the application link below.

Thank you to our compassionate friends at Purina, Chewy, and Tito’s Handmade Vodka for their part in making this grant possible!

Please read the rules and application dates carefully:

Grant Process

Animal Welfare Organizations will have two weeks to complete their initial grant application. Once the application period closes Adopt-a-Pet.com and sponsors will review all eligible applications and choose a small pool of finalists.

All finalists will receive a cash grant (amount will be disclosed to finalists) to enrich or start a pet pantry for their organization. Adopt-a-Pet.com will contact all finalists with the amount they will receive and with a request for additional information. We may request images and/or have follow-up questions. Finalists who send in the requested info will be eligible for a larger grant worth $20,000. Two organizations will receive the larger $20,000 grant that will consist of product, gift cards, and additional monetary funds.
