Since 2015, Banfield Foundation makes preventive veterinary care possible for pets in need by providing grants, medical supplies, partnerships, disaster relief, and by enabling veterinary professionals to deliver compassionate and inclusive preventive care. Committed to the collective purpose: A BETTER WORLD FOR PETS.
A defining feature of Banfield Foundation’s recent grantmaking is its support for preventive veterinary care delivered through clinics and equipment, with grants reaching organizations such as Arizona Humane Society, Humane Society of Tulsa, and Michigan Humane. The foundation also funds disaster response and community access efforts, including support for mobile veterinary units, outreach in rural and underserved communities, and resources that help shelters and animal welfare organizations expand care. Since 2015, the foundation has tied its work to veterinary access for pets in need. Its grantmaking includes funding for preventive care clinics, flea and tick prevention, emergency veterinary response, and veterinary equipment. Recent awards show repeated support for the same kinds of services over multiple years: Arizona Humane Society received preventive care clinic funding in both 2023 and 2025, while Humane Society of Tulsa received multiple awards across preventive care, equipment, and special grants. The foundation also backs broader animal welfare efforts through organizations such as The Humane Society of the United States and Paws Chicago, alongside more localized partners serving communities in Arizona, Tennessee, and other states.
Preventive veterinary care is central to the foundation’s work. It gave $271,684 to Humane Society of Tulsa for a preventive care grant and veterinary equipment grant, and $343,943 to Arizona Humane Society for a preventive care clinic. The foundation also supports disaster-related animal services. Maui Humane Society received $158,778 for disaster relief, preventive care, special, and veterinary equipment needs, while Saipan Humane Society received $123,853 for a similar mix of disaster relief, preventive care, special, and community care. Community access appears through clinic support and outreach-oriented partners. Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter (BARCS) received $133,470 for a preventive care grant, and The Humane Society of the United States received $244,320 for a preventive care clinic in 2023. Its portfolio also includes support for special grantmaking and wider animal welfare work, including $127,223 to Humane Society of Tulsa for special grants and $147,841 to Lifeline Animal Project for a preventive care grant.

Typical grant size is tightly clustered: the 25th percentile is $9,989, the median is $10,782, and the 75th percentile is $16,018. The recent grants list also shows a much larger operating grant at the top end, alongside many awards in the preventive-care range. Banfield Foundation is a regular funder with national reach, and the grant list suggests repeated support to some organizations across multiple years. Arizona Humane Society, Humane Society of Tulsa, Michigan Humane, The Humane Society of the United States, Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter, Serengeti Foundation, and Denver Dumb Friends League all appear more than once. The foundation accepts unsolicited applications for several of its grant programs, including its main grant programs and disaster relief offerings.
Banfield Foundation gives nationally, with all grants in the recipient country distribution going to U.S. organizations. The top state by grant count is Tennessee, while Washington accounts for 5% of grants. Recent awards land in a wide set of cities, including Phoenix, Tulsa, Bingham Farms, Atlanta, Chicago, Baltimore, and Denver. The list also reaches places outside the continental U.S., such as Puunene in Hawaii, Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands, and Vieques in Puerto Rico. This pattern reflects a broad U.S. footprint rather than concentration in the foundation’s headquarters state.
