Animal Welfare Grants (up to $25,000) support organizations that serve animals and promote their humane care. Funding priorities will focus on emergency veterinary treatment for urgent cases or extraordinary medical needs and large equipment purchases, such as X-ray machines, for a clinic or surgical equipment.

The application is open and closes on December 16, 2022. Applicants will be notified of their status by the end of January 2023.
The Masala Giving Circle Grant (up to $10,000) is awarded to organizations that benefit African American/Black communities in Sarasota and Manatee counties.

Don't Forget to Keep Your Profile Current!

Many organizations are simply missing their renewed State Charitable Solicitations Permit to get their profile status re-approved. Login to GiveGab to access your profile and make updates. For guidance, use the Nonprofit Toolkit and Checklist (step #5 in the Toolkit) to make updating your profile a breeze!

Note: If you are not receiving important emails from GiveGab about your profile needing updates, follow both steps below to ensure they make it to your Inbox:
  1. Mark notifications@givegab.com as a safe sender.  
  2. Check that you are NOT “Unsubscribed” from any emails from GiveGab by viewing your account settings.
  • Unsubscribing from GiveGab removes ALL types of email notifications from them, including important messages about updates needed to your profile.
  • If you are unsubscribed (or if you're not sure), contact the Customer Success Team by email, CustomerSuccess@Givegab.com, or by clicking the Blue Chat Bubble when you log into your profile as only they can verify and reset this for you to receive emails from them again.
