Description: The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals® (ASPCA®) is offering $2 million in grants, of which $1.8 million is available through an application process, to support adoption and operations at animal welfare organizations during the 2025 The Rescue Effect, a nationwide campaign that highlights the positive chain of events that occurs when people adopt, foster, volunteer, advocate and donate. The Rescue Effect will run through the months of August, September, and October* 2025, during which grantees must offer a minimum of two (2) fee-waived adoption days each month. Grant amounts will be determined based on the applicant’s 2024 aggregate intake number of dogs and cats and the number of fee-waived days they will be required to hold.
