About The Grant
The Binky Foundation grant program is focused primarily on assisting individuals and organizations seeking to take those initial steps that are critical to achieving a significant benefit or advancement toward protecting animals and their habitats. As one of the few funding organizations that consider grants to new animal welfare groups, The Binky Foundation seeks to encourage new groups, in addition to having a passion for helping animals, to understand the hard truth that running a successful animal welfare group is also a business requiring skill sets and planning.
Grant Program
The Binky Foundation’s offers a streamlined grant program for fledgling animal welfare organizations – shelters, rescue groups, TNR programs and others – providing at its option $1000 “First Steps” grants to entities meeting the program’s three-step criteria designed to recognize that running such an organization requires a certain level of business acumen and planning as well as a passion for animals. (See “First Steps” Grants below).
In addition, The Binky Foundation will consider follow-up grants to prior First Steps grant recipients that have demonstrated the value and efficacy of its business plan, and success in striving for a sustainable model (See “Forward Steps” Grants below).
If you are interested in being considered for a “First Steps” grant, please complete and submit the online application.
