The Florida Animal Friend provides grants to non-profits and municipal agencies to fund spay and neuter surgeries to combat pet overpopulation in Florida. Funding is generated from sales of the FL Animal Friend license plate and eligible groups may receive up to $25,000! Last year the FAF license plate ranked in the top 20 most popular plates out of 140+ license plates statewide- groups must apply for a spay/ neuter grant before the deadline at 8PM on April 1st 2023.
Check out the FAF grant application on the Florida Animal Friend website where you’ll find the required documents for grant applications as well as testimonials, marketing materials and much more. Additionally see the list of recent grant recipients: Recent grant recipients.
The FL Animal Friend review team looks for proposals that focus on a particular group of animals or those in a specific location within a community. The committee is favorable to efficient proposals where grant funds will be the most beneficial, and where targeted surgeries will sterilize animals who would otherwise contribute to overpopulation.
FAF also values collaboration between community groups including non- profits, both open admission and private shelters, as well as other local partners all working toward the same goal of spaying and neutering pets to help decrease pet overpopulation.
