Lupa Animal Wellness Fund Grant

The Lupa Animal Wellness Fund, managed by the Duluth Superior Area Community Foundation, offers grants to support programs for dogs and cats, focusing on issues like cruelty, emergency care, and pet overpopulation. Grants are available to 501(c)(3) organizations, schools, and government entities providing services within the Boreal Waters Community Foundation area.
