Grant Information
Previous Grant Recipients
The Ohio Pet Fund began awarding grants for spay, neuter and
education in 2006-2007, and is pleased to have awarded over a
half million dollars in grant money to the groups listed below.
Grant awards do not constitute an endorsement of said groups,
but instead a shared commitment to the purposes of education
and assistance with spay and neuter costs for companion
animals of low-income families or dogs and cats adopted from
qualifying facilities and agencies.
Thank you for supporting this effort by purchasing the pet plate!

Many Thanks
Many thanks to the late
Senator Robert Schuler,
shown here with registrar
Frank Caltrider, for helping
us get the pets license
plate into Ohio Revised
Code. The
representatives, senators,
lobbyists and aides who
have been instrumental in
the success of the plate
are too numerous to
mention, but you know who
you are, and WE THANK
YOU from the bottom of our
hearts!

| The Ohio Pet Fund is a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation. The Ohio Pet Fund awarded $83,000 in grants in 2006-2007 and $100,000 in grants for 2007-2008. In 2009, over $130,000 was granted, and in 2010, we gave $150,000 in spay/neuter funds. In 2011, $158,000 was given to animal shelters and nonprofit groups, and we expect to grant $160,000 in 2012. Not only do we bestow a substantial amount in grant funds every year, but we are attempting to build an endowment fund to serve as an income-producing entity in the future, in order to continue helping dog and cats forever! |
Paul, Laura, Ryan, and
Blake helped publicize the
license plate at events like
Pet Expo. They also
donated their time to help
with filing, computing, web
site management, moving
furniture and setting up the
office, even fostering and
socializing dogs and
puppies!
| Don't forget to mention the Ohio Pet Plate in your organization's newsletter! Make sure your members know that buying a plate is one of the best ways to help. When animal lovers see your members' cars sporting the new plate, they are going to want a pet plate of their own! |
