  • 1.  $2.5 Million Grant: 2025 ASPCA National Shelter Grants Initiative

    Posted 10-01-2025 06:39 AM

    The ASPCA is offering $2.5 million in grants to U.S. shelters by funding programs that support animal outcomes, animal psychological health and access to veterinary care for shelter animals, community animals or both. 

    Individual grants will range from $10,000 to $95,000 and should be no more than 10% of an organization's operating budget. Applicants must be a non-profit or municipal organization with a physical facility housing animals available for adoption and must also meet ASPCA Grantee Organizational Standards as outlined in the RFP details. 

    Learn more here.

    For all inquiries, please reach out to grants@aspca.org.

    Hi Melissa,

    The ASPCA does not post lists of RFP-specific grantees, but our 990 does include a list of all grantees receiving more than $5k in grant funding.

    I received an email about this. Thank you for the opportunity! I really like the scope of the grant initiative, and now is a great time for this type of initiative.

    I am VP of Hope For The Animals (HFA), a 501(c)(3) in Bucks County, PA. Our mission includes rescue of any feline, canine, and small farm animal in need, and to provide a forever home/shelter. One of our challenges now is finding an appropriate home for our Sanctuary.  In the interim we provide all requisite transportation, foster care, and all veterinary care. 

    We are currently in a fundraising crisis as our expenses used for rescue have increased significantly since the Spring of this year. Any tips on raising and maintaining a consistent stream of income is welcome.
