ASPCA Grants

ASPCA Grants provide support to a variety of U.S.-based nonprofit animal welfare organizations through cash grants, sponsorships, executive and technical assistance, and training. While we generally do not place a ceiling on grant amounts, most grants range between $500 and $10,000. Please bear this in mind when submitting your request unless otherwise instructed. Do not request more than your project budget, regardless of maximums stated in any of our program or RFP (request for proposals) guidelines.

The ASPCA does not accept unsolicited grant proposals by mail, email, or in any format other than through this site.
