Grant Information
Previous Grant Recipients
The Ohio Pet Fund began awarding grants for spay, neuter and
education in 2006-2007, and is pleased to have awarded over a
half million dollars in grant money to the groups listed below.
Grant awards do not constitute an endorsement of said groups,
but instead a shared commitment to the purposes of education
and assistance with spay and neuter costs for companion
animals of low-income families or dogs and cats adopted from
qualifying facilities and agencies.
Thank you for supporting this effort by purchasing the pet plate!

| The Ohio Pet Fund is a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation. Not only do we bestow a substantial amount in grant funds every year, but we are attempting to build an endowment fund to serve as an income-producing entity in the future, in order to continue helping dog and cats forever! |
Paul, Laura, Ryan,
and Blake helped
publicize the license
plate at events like
Pet Expo. They also
donated their time to
help with filing,
computing, web site
management,
moving furniture and
setting up the office,
even fostering and
socializing dogs and
puppies!
| Don't forget to mention the Ohio Pet Plate in your organization's newsletter! Make sure your members know that buying a plate is one of the best ways to help. When animal lovers see your members' cars sporting the new plate, they are going to want a pet plate of their own! |
