Funding Categories

The goal of the California for All Animals program is to reduce the euthanasia of healthy and treatable animals in shelters. That means all shelters in California are able to provide every animal at risk with the Right Care in the Right Place at the Right Time to the Right Outcome. To reach this goal, we are focusing on four categories: Outcomes (Adoptions, Foster, Return to Home and Community), Field Services and Animal Control, Care of Animals in the Shelter, and Community Support.

Outcomes (Adoptions, Return to Home and Return to Community)
What does your organization need to increase adoptions, foster programs, transfer to partners, return to home, and return to community of origin (community cats, for example). Proposals may include requests for veterinary care, supplies, equipment, technology, training and staffing.
 
Field Services and Animal Control
Animal control officers play a vital role in an agency’s connection to the community. What does your organization need to return loose pets to their homes and provide support to community members? Examples include supplies such as kitten kits, fencing, trolleys, doghouses, vouchers for spay/neuter and medical care, microchip scanners, collars and leashes, and technology to enhance mobile work. Proposals will also be accepted for training for animal control officers to provide supportive services. 
 
Care of Animals in the Shelter
Grant funding in this category should focus on physical, medical and mental well-being of animals that are in the shelter’s care. This includes veterinary care supplies and services, behavior and enrichment, volunteer and foster programs, equipment and supplies including housing improvements and interaction spaces. 
 
Intake Management and Community Support
Grant funding in this category should focus on strengthening and streamlining your organization’s ability to provide services to the community. Examples include supplies and veterinary care to keep pets in their homes and communities of origin, developing appointment-based services for intake, resources for handling calls such as an automated system, finder foster programs, website messaging, text messaging, hotline run by staff or volunteers, and staffing for outreach and engagement.
