Grant News
Funding will soon be available to help frontline animal welfare organisations across the UK provide a second chance to animals affected by the illegal pet trade.
The Naturewatch Foundation’s Pet Rescue Grants Programme supports projects that help with the rescue or rehabilitation of dogs, cats or rabbits who have been exploited for breeding and selling.
Registered charities and community interest companies with annual incomes up to £5 million are eligible to apply for grants of up to £10,000. Mini-grants of up to £1,000 are also available for unincorporated non-profits.
Grants can be used for various purposes, including:
- veterinary care
- behavioural support
- training for personnel
- specialist facilities or equipment
Grants cannot be used for investigative or campaigning purposes, or to support organisational running costs.
The fund will be open to expressions of interest from the 24th January 2026 to the 14th February 2026. Successful organisations will be invited to submit a full application.
