About Animal Farm Foundation

Animal Farm Foundation Inc’s largest recent grants went to an attached recipient schedule: $135,525 in 2024 and $124,774 in 2023, both recorded as unrestricted. That pattern frames a funder that combines larger, flexible support with a long list of smaller, practical grants tied to animal welfare. Across the most recent filings, the foundation backed dog-focused programming, rescue and rehoming organizations, and support for animal-serving community programs. A clear thread runs through the named grants. In 2025, Dogs Playing For Life Inc received $18,100 for mentorship programs, while One Tail at a Time received $1,500 for general program support. The foundation also funded direct material support: multiple recipients received dog food, cat food, pet toys, or donated equipment. Animal Farm Foundation Inc’s work reaches animal rescue groups, food pantries, community centers, and equine organizations, with grants that appear designed to strengthen day-to-day services rather than fund one-off projects. The mix of unrestricted support, program support, and in-kind goods shows a funder that uses several tools within a narrow animal-welfare frame. Its recent activity is concentrated in New York, but the grant list also includes a small number of organizations outside the state.

What Animal Farm Foundation Funds

In shelter dog enrichment and training, Animal Farm Foundation Inc gave $18,100 to Dogs Playing For Life Inc to support mentorship programs. That grant fits a broader emphasis on dog-focused capacity building, where support is tied to how organizations train people and improve care for animals. The foundation also funds material aid for pets through community-based groups. In 2025, St Thomas - Food of Life FP received $6,578 for various dog food and treats, cat food, and pet toys, and Dutchess Outreach received $6,394 for the same type of support. Similar grants went to food pantries and neighborhood organizations in Amenia, Hyde Park, Millerton, Fishkill, Dover Plains, Pine Plains, and Stanfordville. Animal Farm Foundation Inc also supports specialty animal education and resource-building. It gave $1,000 to 13 Hands Equine Rescue Inc for horse and donkey education, and $1,000 to HeARTs Speak for the pets and people stock library. Those awards show an interest in both education and shared resources for animal-serving work.
