Guided by it's mission to revolutionize the status and well-being
of companion animals, Maddie's Fund® is devoting its resources to help build
a no-kill nation. Towards that end, Maddie's Fund supports local coalitions that
combine the talents and resources of adoption guarantee organizations, animal
control agencies, and traditional shelters to end the killing of healthy and
treatable shelter animals in their communities within 10 years.
To help build coalitions, Maddie's Fund has created a new series of grants.
Starter Grants offer coalitions monetary assistance as they work on the various
components of their community collaborations: collecting shelter statistics;
reporting shelter data using terminology and definitions presented in the Asilomar
Accords; preparing yearly business plans; formulating 10-year strategic plans;
and developing Pet Evaluation Matrixes.
Each participating group in the coalition must agree to publish their shelter
statistics on their website and in at least one major publication (annual report,
newsletter, etc.). |
