American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Announces Avian Welfare Grant Fund
Deadline: February 15, 2013

To mark National Bird Day, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is inviting grant proposals for initiatives that improve the welfare of birds at risk.

The Avian Welfare Grant Fund provides grants of up to $5,000 to support organizations working to rescue, provide sanctuary for, and re-home homeless pet birds. Projects eligible for funding include adoption promotions, capital improvements for rescue/sanctuary facilities, enrichment equipment, responsible stewardship programs, shelter staff bird care training programs, and veterinary care for birds who have suffered abuse or neglect.

To be considered for an Avian Welfare grant, applicants must be an established 501(c)(3) avian rescue or sanctuary facility located within the United States or a nonprofit or government animal shelter that handles thirty or more birds per year. Native wild bird rehabilitation organizations are ineligible to apply for a grant.

Visit the ASPCA Web site for complete grant guidelines and application instructions.
