Petplan Charitable Trust’s Welfare Grants award funding to UK registered charities with applications that demonstrate:
- a direct benefit to one or more of the species supported by Petplan Ltd (i.e. dogs, cats, horses and rabbits). Grants to human charities will be considered when it can be clearly demonstrated that the grant will enhance/give support to the animals’ best interests.
- Education is seen as an important role for the welfare arm of the Charitable Trust and requests for funding for education in animal welfare will be considered.
- Animal ‘assisted therapy’ charities will be considered, however there is a requirement to detail the current and future (long term) welfare needs of the animals. Staff abilities and training will be an important factor.
- Applications are given preference when the animal welfare benefit is clearly demonstrated.
- Frequency of grants – charities receiving grants should not expect to be successful in their applications every year. If a charity has been successful in two consecutive years there will be a requirement for a two year break before applying again.
- Large charities with multiple branches should co-ordinate and send one application only.
- a reasonable record for rehoming.
No minimum or maximum amount you can apply for is specified.
Deadline: Currently closed – set to reopen in autumn 2025
