Description

The Karin von Grumme-Douglas Foundation supports non-profit animal shelters, sanctuaries, and foster homes nationwide with earmarked funding to enable sustainable care for animals in acute distress. Funding is provided primarily for surgeries and infrastructural measures such as the renovation of accommodations, which must be substantiated by a thorough review and the submission of an annual financial statement as well as a detailed administrative cost breakdown. In close cooperation with interest groups and public institutions, the foundation relies on transparent processes to ensure that every financial contribution directly benefits the animals.

Only organizations recognized as non-profit and able to provide proof of their statutes and precise use of funds are eligible to apply. Grants are awarded on an ongoing basis and are guided by the urgency of the emergency, the financial situation of the institution, and the earmarking of the requested funds. A focus is placed on the analysis of annual financial statements to identify potential savings in administrative costs. In doing so, the foundation makes an important contribution to energy and climate protection in the field of animal welfare and strengthens the long-term performance of veterinary and infrastructural facilities throughout Germany.
