Animal Welfare Professionals

Hi I run a non profit going on 20 years for 17 years I worked as an accountant to fund everything. I lost my job Jan 2023. I am disabled and broken from rescue and pending appeal with an attorney for permanent disability but that can take years im one year in. Are there any grants that can help pay off the 2.5 acres I bought to build the rescue 15 years ago?

So sorry to hear about your job. Most grants are specific to what they fund, you can look for unrestricted grants which can help with operating costs, program expenses etc. Most grants have time frames for submitting and  don't have a fast turn around time or as easy to obtain plus can be competitive.  You might be able to start looking for fall submissions for Spring release. Good Luck!

I'm a retired fund development professional with 45 years experience.  Not knowing the amount of your loan, but my advice would be to try to find a person or persons who have significant disposable income and need a charitable donation toward year end, and approach them with your situation.  I am assuming you are a non-profit.  Maybe during your time as an accountant, you came across some folks in your area with these kinds of resources.  Saying some prayers for you!

Thank you so much. The news is doing a story interviewing me because all the good we do for animals in the community and how we need the help. I will mention that.
