American Humane Association Offers Meacham Foundation Memorial Grant for Shelter Improvements
Deadline: February 28, 2006

A program of the American Humane Association <a href="http://www.americanhumane.org/">http://www.americanhumane.org/</a>, the Meacham Foundation Memorial Grant was established to provide financial assistance to animal care agencies for animal shelter expansion or improvements.

The Meacham grant must be used to increase and/or improve the quality of care given to animals. The grant can help with projects such as kennel or cattery renovation; equipment for veterinary care; capital campaigns; and animal environment enrichment.

Grants will be made only to animal care agencies duly incorporated and classified as 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations or public (local government) agencies. Agencies must also be current members of American Humane at the Associate Agency Member level to qualify for a Meacham Foundation Memorial Grant.

Meacham grants are awarded only for construction, capital improvement, or equipment that directly impacts the welfare of animals in the shelter. Meacham grants may not be used for supplementing an agency’s operating budget, reducing deficits, purchasing vehicles, or for routine maintenance.

Grants may be awarded in any amount up to $4,000.
Grant requests will be accepted from January 1 to February 28, 2006.

Complete program guidelines are available at the American Humane Web site.
