Grant Partnerships Maddie’s Fund has a history of substantial grantmaking (nearly $250 million) and active collaboration with other philanthropic and animal welfare organizations, signaling strong openness to co-funding initiatives and multi-party sponsorships.

Foster Care Focus The foundation prioritizes establishing foster care as a standard in the U.S., presenting opportunities to offer programs, tools, and services that support shelter foster care initiatives, foster caregiver training, and shelter-facility partnerships.

Shelter & Vet Tech With emphasis on lifesaving shelter medicine education, there is a clear opening for partnerships around veterinary training, shelter medicine certifications, telemedicine pilots, and data-driven animal welfare outcomes.

National Voice As a national voice in the sector, Maddie’s Fund can amplify sponsored campaigns, awareness programs, and platform collaborations that reach shelters, rescues, and donor networks seeking scalable impact.

Scale & Collaboration Recent and ongoing partner efforts (including high-profile collaborations) suggest a fertile environment for programs that scale through partnerships, shared learnings, and grant-backed pilot programs with measurable social impact.
