The Program for Animal Welfare, administered by the Foundation, supports organizations in Rhode Island that promote or provide the humane treatment of animals. This program is integral to the Foundation's leadership on animal welfare issues, having funded statewide humane education and low-cost spay and neuter initiatives. Eligible organizations must work on projects or programs that significantly impact animal care, shelter, maintenance, humane education, or general welfare, either statewide or in specific communities. The Foundation also considers capital projects. Funding is intended for activities beginning in late September 2024, with applicant notifications expected by mid-September.

Grant renewed every year.
