Naturewatch Foundation: Pet Rescue Grant
Overview
Overview
Naturewatch Foundation’s Pet Rescue Grant supports UK animal rescue charities working with dogs, cats and/or rabbits who have been affected by the illegal pet trade.
A main grant of £10,000 is available annually to UK-registered charities and Community Interest Companies (CICs) with an annual income of up to £5 million.
Additionally, a mini-grant of £1,000 is available to unincorporated non-profits, including unregistered charities and community groups.
The funds can be used for projects covering veterinary care, behavioural support, specialist facilities, equipment, training or other initiatives that will directly help dogs, cats and/or rabbits who’ve been exploited for profit.
