The Petrie Foundation The mission of the Margo T. Petrie Spaying and Neutering Foundation is to support long-term solutions to pet overpopulation and reduce the number of dogs and cats euthanized annually, thereby improving the lives of companion animals in North Carolina. The Foundation makes grants to qualified charitable organizations that provide spaying and neutering services to dogs and cats. Funding Guidelines The Margaret T. Petrie Spaying and Neutering Foundation grant program seeks to reduce the number of dogs and cats euthanized in the state each year by providing assistance to North Carolina based organizations which provide spaying and neutering services in our communities. Grants will generally be made in the $1,000 to $50,000 range, although requests outside either end of this range will be considered. Grant requests can be for a single or multi-year period, depending on the nature of the project. Our focus is on grants which provide for a long-term solution to dog and cat overpopulation. We are interested in funding programs that will result in the promotion and increase in the spaying and neutering of dogs and cats in a tangible and direct way rather than distributions that might do so in an indirect way, such as through research or educational opportunities or education of the public about the need for spaying and neutering of dogs and cats.
