About Closehaul Capital Charitable
Closehaul Capital Charitable Inc’s recent giving is marked by a cluster of $500,000 grants to animal welfare, rescue, and conservation groups. That flat grant amount appears across the recent list and points to a standardized approach rather than highly variable check sizes. Among the recipients are Carolina Waterfowl Rescue in Indian Trail, North Carolina, and Hawaii Spca in Waianae, Hawaii, both funded in 2025. The foundation also supported Wild Horse Rescue Center in Webster, Florida, and The Coral Nursery of Puerto Rico in Humacao, Puerto Rico, in 2024, showing that its charitable activity reaches beyond one species or one local market. The portfolio extends into specialized rescue and habitat work as well. Recent grants include Fearless Kitty Rescue in Fountain Hills, Arizona; Blind Cat Rescue in St Pauls, North Carolina; and Bat World Sanctuary in Weatherford, Texas. Other awards went to organizations focused on marine restoration, nature conservation, and agricultural or lake preservation. The overall picture is a foundation that uses large, uniform grants to back direct service, rehabilitation, and targeted conservation projects across the United States.
What Closehaul Capital Charitable Funds
Animal welfare is the clearest through line in the recent grant list. Closehaul Capital Charitable Inc gave $500,000 to Ferret Dreams Rescue & Adoption in Denver, Colorado, and another $500,000 to Humane Society of Douglas County in Superior, Wisconsin. It also funded Animal Rescue of the Rockies in Aurora, Colorado, and Town Cats of Morgan Hill in California at the same grant size. The foundation also supports wildlife and habitat work. Badger Run Wildlife Rehab in Klamath Falls, Oregon, received $500,000, while Endangered Wolf Center in Eureka, Missouri, also received $500,000. Conservation beyond land-based species appears in marine and environmental awards. Plastic Oceans International in Malibu, California, received $500,000 for nature conservation, and The Coral Nursery of Puerto Rico in Humacao, Puerto Rico, received $500,000 for coral reef restoration. Ideas for US in Orlando, Florida, received $500,000 for agriculture and Florida lake preservation.
How Closehaul Capital Charitable Gives
Recent grants are tightly standardized: the typical grant size is $500,000 at the 25th percentile, median, and 75th percentile. That means the recorded recent awards cluster at one amount rather than spreading across a broader range. The foundation’s public program mix includes donor-advised funds, charitable remainder unitrusts, life income gifts, pooled income funds, and direct grantmaking through grant agreements and electronic transfers. Some of those vehicles accept unsolicited requests, while the direct grantmaking program is listed as not accepting unsolicited applications. The recent list also shows activity in both 2024 and 2025, indicating grantmaking across multiple years rather than a single one-off cycle.
