Community Care Grant

The Banfield Foundation believes all pets deserve access to veterinary care, whether their owners are able to afford it or not. To make veterinary care possible for pets in need, our Community Care Grants support nonprofit organizations that deliver care to owned pets through their own on-site clinic, mobile clinic, or pop-up clinic. By helping vulnerable pet owners access affordable veterinary care, our goal is to keep pets happy, healthy, and in their existing homes for years to come. Applications will be accepted and reviewed quarterly throughout the months of January, April, July and October with a deadline for submissions on the last day of these months. We will notify you of the status of your application the subsequent month. Organizations must have their own veterinarian and veterinary professionals on staff, or must contract with or work with volunteer professionals. Our funds may be used for the direct cost of medications, drugs, vaccines, and medical supplies. The intent of your program must be to help vulnerable or low-income pet owners who may not otherwise be able to access or afford veterinary care for their pets, but you do not necessarily need to screen for income eligibility.
