About The Grant
RedRover's Safe Housing Grants are designed to assist nonprofit organizations in the United States that aim to help survivors of domestic violence keep their pets with them during their escape from abuse. Funding may be used to build or renovate spaces dedicated to housing survivors’ pets, begin a foster program to care for survivors’ pets, pay for temporary boarding for survivors’ pets, or a combination of services that will best serve your community. Grant funds may also be used for routine veterinary care, emergency veterinary care, and pet deposits.
Funds requested to pay for boarding, medical care, and pet deposits are intended to help with program costs for a maximum of two years. It is expected that your organization will use that time to work on a funding plan and cover those costs after RedRover’s funds have been used.
The funds requested must also be based on a researched or demonstrated need for the number of animals expected to use the pet program. Preferably, a minimum of six months of data on the actual need for boarding should be collected before applying. This would include both the number of families needing help and the number of animals. Suggestions on how to collect this information include talking about pets during intake or crisis calls, or from how often our Safe Escape program is used.
