ELLSWORTH — The Belvedere Animal Welfare Fund of the Maine Community Foundation is seeking applications from Maine organizations and programs that address population control for cats and dogs. The fund awarded $156,350 in grants to 11 nonprofits in 2018.
The deadline for applications is June 1. For application, guidelines and a list of 2018 grants, go to www.mainecf.org.
The Belvedere Animal Welfare Fund offers project and capacity-building grants. The fund advisory committee’s priorities include having clearly defined targets or goals and a practical strategy to measure progress; having the greatest potential to positively impact the community or the organization; sustainability after Maine Community Foundation funding ends; and addressing cat overpopulation. Strong preference is given to applicants that offer special or discounted programs to low-income pet owners.
An anonymous donor established the fund in 2007. It is further supported by the Doree Taylor Charitable Foundation, Bank of America, N.A. Trustee. For more information or to learn more about the foundation, visit the web site or contact Senior Program Officer Gloria Aponte Clarke, at gaponteclarke@mainecf.org or 207-761-2440.
The Maine Community Foundation works with donors and other partners to improve the quality of life for all Maine people.
