WHO CAN APPLY?
If your organization is located in the North Georgia, North Alabama, East Tennessee area and has a valid, non-revoked IRS Determination Letter establishing their 501(c)(3) status can apply for pet food/supplies through our website. A group applying under a Group Exemption or using an alternate name (for example “Doing business as…”) must submit the relevant documents as described by the IRS or state/local authorities.
How does it work?
-
Groups apply through this website to become a grant recipient. Your Application will be screened for criteria such as non-profit status, spay/neuter policy, adoption pages, and distance from nearest ambassador. As the local ambassador for our area, we accept or decline each application, based on our posted criteria.
-
Groups meeting the criteria will receive a welcome packet outlining the details and procedures. When food/supplies are available, we notify the groups of what we are receiving and offer the group the opportunity to participate.
-
Participating groups complete the application to participate through a website link by the established deadline and the ambassador determines an equitable distribution of the food, taking into account factors such as the number and size of animals, whether any group received food more recently than another one, distance traveled, or special circumstances like large food donations from other sources.
-
The ambassador notifies each group of the amount allocated, the place and time for pickup, and the amount of handling fees.
-
As a grant program, we cannot guarantee that food will always be supplied to any one organization or that a grant will meet all of the organization’s needs for any period of time.
We accept applications from the following groups:
- human food banks and pet food pantries
- 501(c)3 animal rescue organizations (i.e., cat, dog, equine, and wildlife shelters, rescues, and sanctuaries)
- state, county, or regional animal welfare facilities
- law enforcement agencies (i.e., animal control)
- housing (including emergency, transitional and permanent)
- community resource and outreach (including homeless services)
