Thank YOU, Maddie's Fund, for the support, resources, connection, and networking! The entire world of animals, and the people that support them, are benefited by all the work you do! We are so very grateful for the grant award this year, and are proud to share our End of Year report. Humble as it may be, you helped us make a difference in the lives of many animals in 2025.
