Mission & Focus Areas
Two Mauds’ website says the foundation was established to support innovative programs that directly prevent or alleviate animal suffering, particularly those carried out by smaller organizations. Its grant information describes support for spay-neuter of owned pets and trap-neuter-return of community cats, humane traps, clinic equipment, and transportation to spay-neuter clinics. It says it does not fund spay-neuter or medical expenses for animals in rescue or private shelters, or animal relocation expenses.
The website describes its preferred grantees as grassroots and volunteer-run, and says smaller organizations with annual budgets of $250,000 or less are its focus. It also says municipal shelters may be considered under certain circumstances, as may larger organizations that support spay-neuter in its coverage areas and affordable spay-neuter clinics in or near that area.
Examples of grantees’ work include People for Animals Inc, whose stated mission is to improve pet quality of life and address pet overpopulation by reducing the number of healthy pets euthanized in shelters. The Feral Cat Assistance Program says it teaches humane trapping, loans traps, and manages a low-cost spay-neuter and vaccination clinic. Helping Hounds Find Homes says it works to save homeless and unwanted pets in its county and surrounding areas.
Grantmaking
In 2024, Two Mauds reported 47 grants totaling $263,518. The awards ranged from $1,000 to $15,000, with a median of $5,000. The largest awards included $15,000 to Homeward Trails Animal Rescue and $12,000 to Virginia Federation of Humane Societies, both listed in the filing as operating support. Other notable grants included $11,000 to Spay Tennessee; $10,000 each to Friends of Madison County Animals, Grainger County Humane Society, and People for Animals; and $8,000 each to Feral Cat Assistance Program, Helping Hounds Find Homes, and Trapper Girls Community Cat Coalition. These grants were also listed as operating support.
The website describes primary spay-neuter grants of up to $10,000 per year, with exceptions possible for highly effective or innovative programs or those covering large geographic areas. It also describes matching grants for grantees that secure local-government funding for spay-neuter, and time-sensitive grants for past grantees with urgent needs. Matching grants are not available in a year an organization receives a primary grant, and the website says matching requests have no deadline.
