This small private giving vehicle makes highly targeted support for animal welfare, demonstrated by a single six-figure grant to an equine rescue. The foundation appears to prioritize direct support for horse rescue/rehabilitation and gives unrestricted funding that allows grantees flexibility. Its activity is narrow in scope and focused on hands-on animal protection work rather than broad philanthropic diversification.
Concentrated, one-time large grant(s) to a single animal-welfare grantee; prefers unrestricted general support rather than restricted project funding.
A single $75,000 unrestricted grant to Namaste Equine Rescue Ltd stands out in Martha Morse Beck Von Peccoz Animal Plc’s recent record and points to a funder with a tight animal-welfare focus. The foundation’s giving centers on rescues and sanctuaries that handle horses and other animals directly, with support often structured as general operating aid rather than project-specific funding. That pattern appears again in a $25,000 unrestricted grant to Happy Ever After Animal Sanctuary and another $25,000 award to Journey Home Equine, both in Wisconsin-based animal care work. Across recent filings, the foundation supports organizations doing hands-on rescue, rehabilitation, sheltering, and wildlife care. The grant list includes equine programs, cat rescues, wildlife centers, and animal sanctuaries, but the common thread is operational flexibility for organizations working on the ground. It is a relatively small private giving vehicle by asset base, yet its annual grantmaking is substantial relative to size, with awards often clustered in the low five-figure range and repeated support to selected organizations over multiple years.
Equine rescue is the clearest theme in the foundation’s recent giving. In 2025, Martha Morse Beck Von Peccoz Animal Plc gave $36,000 to Namaste Equine Rescue Ltd for unrestricted general support, and it also awarded $25,000 to Journey Home Equine in Union Grove, Wisconsin. Animal shelter and sanctuary work is another visible area. The foundation gave $25,000 to Friends of Madacc in West Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and $25,000 to Safe Haven for Cats in Raleigh, North Carolina, both as unrestricted general grants. Wildlife-related organizations also appear in the record. Grants include $16,000 to Sleeping Bear Wildlife Fund in Grawn, Michigan, $8,000 to Edith Allen Wildlife Sanctuary in Canton, North Carolina, and $8,000 to Carolina Wildlife Conservation Center in Iron Station, North Carolina. These awards suggest support for both rescue care and wildlife rehabilitation capacity.
Typical awards are compact: p25 is $5,000, median grant size is $6,000, and p75 is $10,000. The recent record also shows a smaller set of larger grants, including a $75,000 award and several $20,000 to $25,000 grants. The same organizations can receive support in multiple years; Namaste Equine Rescue Ltd appears in both 2023 and 2025, and Safe Haven for Cats and Animal Rescue League of Boston also recur. The foundation is a private giving vehicle, not a program-related-investment fund, and the grants shown are unrestricted general awards.
