The mission of Don’t Forget to Feed Me (DF2FM) is to supply pet food to local agencies in support of pet owners while educating the public about pet food insecurity, providing pet food for those in need during challenging financial times and increasing awareness to offer an alternative to surrendering or abandoning a family pet.
Dont Forget to Feed Me Pet Food Bank Inc centers pet food distribution as a response to household hardship, pairing that work with emergency support for pet owners. Its core mission is to supply pet food to local agencies, educate the public about pet food insecurity, and help people avoid surrendering or abandoning a family pet during financial stress. That mission shows up in program design as well as grantmaking. The Stay…or Go program moves donated pet food through local pantries and other partners serving families in Fort Worth, Tarrant County, and North Texas, while the Pet Comfort Kits program equips American Red Cross Greater North Texas emergency response vehicles with pet meals, collapsible bowls, wipes, a slip leash or cat collar, and an informational card. The Maverick Fund extends that emergency response support to pet-owning households affected by catastrophic events. Recent grants also show a consistent network approach: Fw Hope Center received $95,179 in 2024 and $84,837 in 2025, and Community Food Bank received $53,828 in 2025.
A major part of the foundation’s work is basic-needs support for pet-owning households. It gave $36,800 to Denton Community Food Center in 2024 and $24,086 to Denton Hunger Coalition in 2023, both listed as distribution grants. The organization also funds local partners that combine food access with broader household assistance: Christian Community Action received $22,159 in 2025, and Community Storehouse received $15,457 in 2025. Emergency preparedness is another clear theme. Through Pet Comfort Kits, the foundation supports American Red Cross Greater North Texas emergency response vehicles with pet supplies for disaster situations. The Maverick Fund adds a separate channel for catastrophic events affecting pet-owning households in Greater North Texas.
Typical grants are tightly clustered: the 25th percentile is $9,196, the median is $10,974, and the 75th percentile is $15,026. The pattern is repetitive rather than one-off; several recipients appear across multiple years, including Fw Hope Center, Community Food Bank, Denton Community Food Center, Christian Community Action, Community Storehouse, Eastside Ministries Community Assistance, Westaid, and Bibles and Bread Ministries. Grant records mostly describe distribution support rather than project-specific awards, matching the organization’s role in pet food collection and disbursement. The foundation is led by Bradley Petty and operates as a local grantmaker rather than an individual-funding or PRI-making entity.
