Pfotentafel – Karin von Grumme-Douglas Foundation

The Paw Board of the Karin von Grumme-Douglas Foundation supports nonprofit animal protection organizations nationwide, particularly animal shelters and sanctuaries that urgently depend on food donations, in-kind donations, and financial resources. With a clear focus on energy efficiency and climate protection, food and supplies are properly stored, distributed, and transported. As an ongoing sponsorship program, the Paw Board is available to organizations that can demonstrate their nonprofit status and present an acute need for food. Staff members rely on a proven network of feed manufacturers and donors to effectively counteract supply shortages in animal welfare. The provision of food for dogs, cats, and other pets is carried out according to needs and in close coordination with the supported facilities.

Interested organizations can apply at any time without having to adhere to fixed deadlines. All expenses related to food and in-kind donations as well as logistics costs are funded. Under the foundation’s leadership, the entire logistics—from storage through distribution to transport—is managed, enabling animal shelters and sanctuaries to focus on their core tasks. The Paw Board complements existing emergency aid measures and makes a decisive contribution to securing animal welfare. Through transparent use of funds and regular assessments of needs, the program ensures that every donation reaches where it is most urgently needed.
