Planet Dog Foundation Announces Fall 2011 Grantmaking Cycle for Service Dog Programs
The Planet Dog Foundation seeks to support nonprofit programs in the United States that train, place, and support dogs helping people in need.
The foundation awards grants of up to $7,500 to help fund service-oriented programs related to assistance dogs, therapy dogs, search and rescue dogs, or police, fire, and military dogs. The foundation will give priority to programs that creatively serve multiple populations or otherwise maximize the value of the grants awarded.
Only U.S.-based nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations are eligible to apply. Applicants must be accredited members of Assistance Dogs International.
Because of its limited funding focus, the foundation does not provide grants for spay/neuter programs, animal shelters, or rescue or adoption programs.
In 2011, the foundation will be celebrating ten years of giving with a series of events, promotions and a revised grantmaking schedule. The foundation will not be accepting proposals for a spring grant cycle, but will instead offer ten grants in its fall cycle. Letters of Intent for the fall cycle must be submitted by August 12, 2011.
