Summary
A charitable grant opportunity is currently open through a family foundation with a long-standing history of funding initiatives in the United States, particularly in South Florida and Western Pennsylvania, though proposals from across the country are also eligible. Offers both general operating support and program-specific funding.
Eligible applicants must be nonprofit organizations recognized under 501(c)(3), and proposals focused on individual support, event sponsorships, endorsements, government agencies, capital campaigns, renovations, or building projects are not considered. Supports nonprofits working in three broad areas: improving women’s and children’s health, safety, and welfare; fostering positive human-animal interactions and animal welfare; and advancing early intervention or prevention in addiction services.
Applicants may request unspecified amounts for either operational costs or specific programs. While there is no publicly stated award range, recent data shows that grants typically range from around $5,000 to over $1.5 million, with median awards near $30,000. Proposals must align with mission areas and include documentation such as proof of tax-exempt status, organizational budgets, audited financial statements, a list of board members, and a signed proposal letter stating the amount requested and intended use.
Grant cycles occur twice yearly, with deadlines right around early February and early August to align with spring and fall board meetings. Priority is given to complete applications submitted ahead of these cutoff dates.
In essence, this opportunity provides nonprofit organizations across the U.S., with a focus on South Florida and Western Pennsylvania, access to flexible funding that can support either core operations or targeted programs within key human‑service and animal‑welfare domains.
Organizations and individuals based in California who are engaged in Food & Nutrition may be eligible to apply for this funding opportunity. To discover more grants that align with your mission and objectives, visit The Grant Portal and explore listings using the Search Grant tool.
