GS HUMANE CORP is a NYC-based animal welfare funder with a strong, targeted focus on feline health and population management in New York City, especially Brooklyn and Queens. The foundation concentrates on service delivery (spay/neuter, community veterinary care) and general operating support for local cat-focused nonprofits, repeatedly investing in a small set of organizations to sustain programs and clinics. Their grants are practical and programmatic rather than advocacy-oriented, aimed at reducing cat overpopulation and improving access to veterinary services in underserved communities.
Gs Humane Corp’s largest recent grant in the data is a $500,000 award to Flatbush Cats Inc for the purchase of real estate to house a nonprofit veterinary clinic in Brooklyn. That single grant captures the foundation’s style: practical animal welfare giving centered on feline health, community clinic infrastructure, and neighborhood-based service delivery. Across the recent grants list, the foundation repeatedly supports cat-focused organizations in Brooklyn, Queens, and New York City more broadly, with awards for spay/neuter services, community cat initiatives, and operating support that helps local groups keep programs running. The pattern is not limited to one-time project funding. Flatbush Cats appears in multiple years and at multiple levels of support, including $425,000 in 2025, $400,000 in 2024, and $275,000 in 2023. The foundation also backs the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for Queens community veterinary clinic work and licensed vet technician support in Long Island City, showing a preference for service capacity rather than advocacy. Its animal welfare grants are closely tied to access, population management, and local clinic models.
A clear strand of Gs Humane Corp’s funding goes to community veterinary access. In 2025, the foundation gave $100,000 to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for support of a licensed vet technician at a community veterinary clinic in Long Island City, and earlier gave $250,000 for the Queens community veterinary clinic. Another recurring theme is spay/neuter and community cat work. In 2023, Flatbush Cats received $275,000 for spay/neuter services, while Animal Care Centers of NYC received $100,000 in both 2023 and 2024 for a community cat initiative. The foundation also supports local animal welfare groups through general operating support, including $250,000 to Brooklyn Bridge Animal Welfare Coalition Inc in 2025 and $100,000 to The Bridge Project in 2025 for early childhood education. Beyond animal welfare, the portfolio includes Jewish education and antisemitism-related work, such as funding for day school leadership training and general operating support for Jewish education organizations.
Typical grant size clusters around a $10,000 p25, $50,000 median, and $76,185 p75, with several six-figure awards at the upper end. The recent record shows repeated support for the same organizations across multiple years, especially in feline welfare, which points to ongoing relationship-based grantmaking rather than isolated one-off gifts. The foundation funds individuals as well as organizations, and it does not make program-related investments. Grants in the recent list are almost entirely operating support or direct program support, with some capital-related support such as real estate purchase and clinic staffing.
