Planet Dog Foundation Offers Funding for Service Dog Programs
Deadline: August 1, 2008 (Letters of Intent)

The Planet Dog Foundation (http://www.planetdogfoundation.org/) seeks to support worthy organizations through a grantmaking program designed to support 501(c)(3) not-for-profit partners nationwide. The goal of the program is to fund new and proven initiatives that bring people and pets together for mutual benefit and support.

Funding is allocated across the United States to promote and financially support service-oriented canine programs. Service-oriented canine programs include the following: service dogs; therapy dogs; animal-assisted therapy; search and rescue dogs; police, fire, and military dogs; and other innovative canine-service programs.

The foundation funds only organizations classified as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The foundation does not provide funding for spay/neuter programs, adoption shelter operating expenses, or rescue program operating expenses.

Grants are for amounts of up to $10,000 each. PDF awards grants twice a year.
