Ethel Frends Foundation Grant

The Ethel Frends Foundation, established in 1997, provides grants to support canine care and canine education in eight California counties: Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and San Diego. The foundation prioritizes organizations that advance the well-being and education of dogs in these regions. Applications are due annually by January 31, and applicants will be notified of grant decisions before February 28. Grants are awarded for a one-year duration and may be used for general operating support, specific programs, or small, program-related capital expenses incorporated into broader requests. The foundation encourages organizations to propose initiatives that align with its mission to enhance canine care and education. This funding opportunity is particularly suited for nonprofits operating within the specified counties and focused on improving the lives of dogs through care, education, or related programs. Interested applicants should prepare detailed proposals and submit them by the application deadline.
