Programs Keeping Pets and Domestic Violence Survivors Together Funded

RedRover Safe Housing Grants

Application deadline: The remaining deadlines for 2024 are June 1 and September 1.
Grant amount: Up to $60,000
Description: RedRover’s Safe Housing Grants provide support to nonprofit domestic violence and animal organizations across the United States to build pet programs that help survivors of domestic violence by allowing pets and people to escape abuse together. Funding priority is given to applications from domestic violence shelters that are starting new pet programs to house animals at the domestic violence shelter. If additional funding is available, other application types will be considered, including renovating spaces dedicated to housing survivor’s pets, foster programs to care for survivor’s pets, temporary boarding for survivor’s pets, or a combination of services that will best serve the community. Applicants must be either an established nonprofit domestic violence organization or an established nonprofit animal organization interested in expanding their services to help domestic violence survivors keep their pets. Domestic violence organization applicants must form a partnership with at least one animal organization with experience housing animals, and animal organization applicants must form a partnership with at least one domestic violence organization.
