Well, I am way past the age cut-off point for this grant, but I thought I would make the information available for some of our younger supporters and volunteers. ASPCA is sponsoring an Animal Action Grant for people who are under age 25 and are passionate about animals. They will award six grants, two $1,000 and four $500 grants, for winning proposals that focus to “increase adoptions, decrease the euthanasia of shelter animals and reunite more people with lost pets.”

The deadline to submit a proposal is April 30, so visit the DoSomething.org website soon to read the complete guidelines and required material checklist. If anyone is serious about applying and needs a bit of help, please email me. One of the required items is a budget detailing how the money will be used. I could help you figure out how to do that. And the second item is a recommendation from a non-family member. I’d be happy to help with that, too. 

There are lots of other things you can get involved with on DoSomething.org, too. The site’s main goal is to encourage people to get out in their communities and “Do Something.” They offer grant money for club projects and are so passionate about it that they give away two $500 grants each week for the chosen projects. You can also meet other people through the social aspect of the site who share your passions and rally them to join in your cause. 

Check out the site even if you are an old geezer like me who is over 25 and ineligible to apply for the Animal Action Grant. DoSomething.org offers many programs to get young people excited about performing positive acts to make life a bit better.
