the annual grant program
In March of each year, Help a Buddy Fund opens up our granting program to eligible animal welfare groups in Alberta. We offer two granting streams and our goal is to distribute a minimum of $4000 per year through this program. Rescue groups must:
-
Have a purpose to rehabilitate and rehome (or provide sanctuary) to animals in need
-
Be a registered charity operating in Alberta
-
Have at least one animal which is in long-term foster or sanctuary care (one year minimum)
Recipients are selected through an application process and carefully chosen based on the highest need.
Year-round, we partner with rescues all over Alberta to host joint fundraisers that will benefit animals in need and provide financial benefit to rescuers. The fundraising portion Help a Buddy Fund retains is funneled back into our granting program in combination with donations gifted to our cause.
