The ISF Emergency Medical Care Grant for Animals provides financial assistance to animal welfare organizations, agencies, and in some cases individual rescuers, responsible for the care of animals recovering from
abuse, neglect or injuries suffered from a traumatic event. The purpose of this grant is to provide animal victims a second chance by alleviating their rescuers of the financial stress of treatment so they can focus on facilitating the animal’s adoption into a permanent, loving home.

These emergency grants are given throughout the year with no application deadline dates. ISF will award up
to a maximum of $1000.00 USD per grant application. Due to the overwhelming number of animal need cases, this grant can only be offered to a select number of recipients each year and they will be awarded based on: availability of grant funds, eligibility of applicant, and medical urgency. Once submitted, receipt of your grant application will be acknowledged via email. Award decisions are able to be made within one week. When
approved, please allow up to two weeks from the time of first contact for grant money to be awarded.

WHO MAY APPLY?
Animal Shelter Agencies (both public and private) in the United States & Canada. Rescue groups with 501(c)(3) status operating in the Continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii & Canada. In specific cases, individuals, living
in the United States & Canada, who have privately rescued an animal within the last three months.
