To date, the Banfield Charitable Trust has awarded more than a half million dollars in grant funding to support a variety of programs. Please see our Funded Programs and grant recipient stories.
The Banfield Charitable Trust’s funding priorities are:
- Promotion of preventive healthcare for Pets
- Educating children about veterinary medicine and the Pets they love
- Programs based on the human-Pet bond and how it relates to longer, healthier lives for Pets and people

- Spay and neuter or adoption programs. (Note: We will consider requests for programs that protect against preventable disease for Pets that are in families or Pets that are ready and going to adoption.)
- General operating expenses, deficit reduction, or general administrative overhead expenses.
- Fundraising campaigns, including special events.
