RedRover Safe Housing Grants RedRover offers grants of up to $60,000 to nonprofit domestic violence and animal organizations across the United States. Funding may be used to build or renovate spaces dedicated to housing survivor’s pets, begin a foster program to care for survivor’s pets, pay for temporary boarding for survivor’s pets, or a combination of services that will best serve your community. Grant funds may also be used for routine veterinary care, emergency veterinary care, and pet deposits.
Eligibility: RedRover aims to ensure that 25% of domestic violence shelters are pet-friendly by 2025! That means funding priority will be given to applications from domestic violence shelters that are starting new pet programs to house animals at the domestic violence shelter. If there is remaining funding available, other application types will be considered.
- Applicants must be registered as a nonprofit organization.
- Applicants must be either an established domestic violence organization or an established animal organization interested in expanding their services to help domestic violence survivors keep their pets.
- Applicants must have a partner organization. Domestic violence organizations must form a partnership with at least one animal organization with experience housing animals, and animal organizations must form a partnership with at least one domestic violence organization. This is to ensure that domestic violence organizations have a partner who can help with animal care information and overflow boarding when needed and animal organizations have an active partner working with the survivors they’re trying to help.
Application Deadlines: The deadlines for submitting a Safe Housing grant application are March 1st, June 1st, and September 1st. Applications may be submitted at any time, but any applications received after a deadline will not be reviewed until the following deadline. Funding decisions will be made within 45 days of the application deadlines.
