About Animal Medical Center
The Animal Medical Center’s recent grantmaking is defined by one dominant line of support: care for the NYPD canine program. Grants of $646,284 in 2024, $578,424 in 2025, and $424,634 in 2023 show a multi-year pattern of very large awards tied to working-animal medical care. That focus sits alongside a broader portfolio of assistance for animal welfare organizations that need help covering veterinary treatment, rescue care, and related expenses. The foundation’s other notable recipients include North Shore Animal League and the ASPCA, both of which received grants for the care of animals in nonprofit settings. Little Wanderers NYC, Air Twiga Animal Rescue, Muddy Paws Rescue, and Bideawee also appear in the recent grants list, indicating sustained support for animal rescue and shelter organizations in New York. The Animal Medical Center describes its mission as providing veterinary care, advancing animal health through research and education, and serving communities with compassionate care for animals in need. Its grantmaking mirrors that mission through direct medical assistance and support for organizations caring for animals.
What Animal Medical Center Funds
A central theme in the foundation’s giving is working-dog care. The New York City Police Department received $646,284 in 2024 and $578,424 in 2025 for NYPD canine care, following a $424,634 award in 2023. That repeated funding pattern makes police K-9 support one of the clearest priorities in the recent record. Outside that program, the foundation supports nonprofit animal care infrastructure. North Shore Animal League received $60,368 in 2025 and $51,588 in 2023, both directed to helping nonprofit organizations care for their animals. The ASPCA received $58,198 in 2025 and $27,220 in 2024 for the same purpose. Rescue groups such as Little Wanderers NYC, Air Twiga Animal Rescue, and Muddy Paws Rescue also appear with grants tied to animal care. The grant program named AMC Financial Assistance Programs indicates subsidized care for eligible pet owners and animal-related charities and rescue organizations in New York.
How Animal Medical Center Gives
The Animal Medical Center’s typical grant size is modest relative to its largest awards: the 25th percentile is $7,914, the median is $13,294, and the 75th percentile is $26,854. The pattern suggests a mix of many smaller animal-care grants and a few very large exceptions, especially the NYPD canine awards. Recurrence is visible in the recent record: several organizations appear in multiple years, including the New York City Police Department, North Shore Animal League, the ASPCA, Little Wanderers NYC, Air Twiga Animal Rescue, Muddy Paws Rescue, Hudson Valley Humane Society, Bideawee, and Mr Bones & Company. The foundation is a Pure DAF Provider and offers the AMC Financial Assistance Programs, which accepts unsolicited requests.
