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
nearly 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 assisting with spay and neuter costs for
companion animals of low-income families and dogs and cats
adopted from qualifying facilities and agencies.
Thank you for supporting this effort by purchasing the pet plate!

| The Ohio Pet Fund is a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation and therefore our finances are open to the public. The Ohio Pet Fund awarded $83,000 in grants in 2006-2007 and $100,000 in grants for 2007-2008. The Ohio Pet Fund awarded over $130,000 in 2009, and $150,000 in 2010! 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! |
Our younger volunteers,
Christa, Paul, Laura, Ryan,
and Blake helped with
filing, computing, web site
management, moving
furniture and setting up the
office, even fostering and
socializing dogs and
puppies! Thanks so
much, guys! We couldn't
do it all without you!
| 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! |
