Below are some frequently asked questions to assist with the application process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When will grants be awarded?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The application review process for <strong>Program Development <\/strong>and <strong>DOGS RULE.\u2122<\/strong> grants takes a few months, including audits of shelters\/rescues recommended for grants. We expect to announce these grants over the summer and checks will follow quickly after the announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disaster Relief grants are available year-round as emergencies arise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are some programs prioritized for grants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. In 2023, PEDIGREE Foundation will be funding grants in the following priority areas that support increased adoption rates:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Transport programs<\/strong> that support sending or receiving organizations in moving dogs from areas of overpopulation to areas where they\u2019re more likely to be adopted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Foster programs<\/strong> that move dogs temporarily into loving homes while they await adoption, with foster parents to care and advocate for them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Behavior programs<\/strong> that help with socialization, training and stress relief so dogs can move beyond behaviors that might hinder their adoption into loving, forever families.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do your grants support medical needs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We will not be funding requests for medical supplies or veterinary care related expenses. This includes spay and neuter programs, treatments or vaccines, or medical equipment. Instead, please submit those types of requests to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.banfieldfoundation.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Banfield Foundation<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/vcacharities.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">VCA Charities<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do your grants support capital programs or campaigns?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>PEDIGREE Foundation grants, including DOGS RULE.\u2122 grants, are not available to support capital campaigns. However, for 2023 Program Development grants, we will consider capital programs that are directly related to initiatives in these three categories: transport, foster and behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I have questions. Who should I contact?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll be hosting a grant application webinar on Friday, March 3 at 1 PM CT to discuss the 2023 grant cycle and share tips. Please join us to get all the info you need to write a successful grant submission, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Process and key dates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Changes for 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Guidelines for applicants&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Opportunity to ask questions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/register.gotowebinar.com\/register\/1350937381056002647\">Click here to register for the webinar.<\/a><\/strong> A recording of the session will also be shared with shelters\/rescues who are <a href=\"https:\/\/lp.constantcontactpages.com\/su\/cKNrh7J\"><strong>subscribed to our emails<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have additional questions, please email Foundation Grants Manager Meg Meredith at <a href=\"mailto:megan.meredith@effem.com\">megan.meredith@effem.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I am not a shelter or rescue but am interested in supporting the Foundation during the grants cycle.
