In celebration of its 5th anniversary, SpotOn, a leading provider of innovative pet containment solutions, is launching SpotOn Gives, a give-back program aimed at supporting organizations dedicated to enhancing the lives of animals in their communities. As part of this initiative, SpotOn Gives will award five $50,000 grants to non-profit animal welfare organizations in 2024, for a total of $250,000 in grants!

So, if there’s a wonderful shelter or rescue in your area, make sure they apply.

About The Program

SpotOn is dedicated to enhancing pet safety through its state-of-the-art equipment. Their fence systems utilize GPS technology to create customizable boundaries, allowing pets to roam within designated areas, thus supporting their well-being by letting them run free while also keeping them safe.

The SpotOn Gives program was created to further improve the lives of animals by providing much-needed funds to animal welfare organizations. Recipients can use the grant money to pay for any number of necessary goods and services, such as upgrades to their sheltering facilities, community outreach programs, and, of course, essential supplies, food, and veterinary services for the animals in their care.

Grant Eligibility Requirements

To be eligible for a grant, organizations must actively support animal welfare activities such as rescue, rehabilitation, spaying/neutering, and adoption. Additionally, applicants must be non-profit/government entities recognized by the IRS, operational for at least three years, and located in the US. Preference will be given to organizations focusing on dog welfare.

How To Apply

Organizations that meet the grant criteria should submit a written grant application through SpotOn Gives. The applicant will be asked about various aspects of their organization, including:

  • Community Impact: Past involvement and how the grant will enhance it.
  • Grant Utilization: How the funds will directly benefit the organization and its mission.
  • Overcoming Challenges: Past challenges, solutions, and how the grant will help overcome future obstacles.
  • Case Study: A story showcasing the organization’s impact and how the grant will further its mission.

Following the initial application phase, finalists will be notified on May 17, 2024, and provided with requirements for submitting video applications. The deadline for video submissions is June 7, 2024, with winners set to be announced before June 30, 2024.

SpotOn’s 5 Years 5 Grants initiative represents a significant step towards supporting animal welfare organizations and improving the lives of animals across communities. Through this program, SpotOn continues its mission of creating a better life for dogs and promoting the well-being of all animals.
