The Marianne H. Halle Animal Support Foundation appears focused on direct support for wildlife rescue and rehabilitation, demonstrated by a single, large grant to a regional wildlife center. Their giving is targeted and programmatic, prioritizing hands-on animal care and recovery rather than broad or diversified philanthropy. The foundation likely funds operational capacity or major projects for wildlife rehabilitation organizations, particularly in their local or regional area.
Highly concentrated: a single large grant to one organization rather than many small awards; appears to favor sizable, targeted support for a core grantee.
The Marianne H Halle Animal Suppor Foundation Inc C/o Mj Porter is marked by a single very large wildlife-rehabilitation grant: $600,000 to Aware Wildlife Center in Lithonia, Georgia in 2023. That award sits alongside a pattern of repeated support for animal rescue and sanctuary groups, suggesting a funder that favors direct care for animals over broad, diversified philanthropy. The foundation’s recent giving includes recurring grants to organizations such as Lifeline Animal Project, White Wolf Sanctuary, and Mara Elephant Project, with awards that range from $25,000 to $50,000. Those grants point to a portfolio centered on hands-on rescue, rehabilitation, and sanctuary work for wild animals, horses, and other animals in care. The foundation also appears willing to make larger commitments when an organization’s work aligns closely with its mission, as shown by the six-figure gift to Aware Wildlife Center and multiple follow-on grants to several recipients across 2024 and 2025. Across the recent record, the foundation’s support is concentrated in operationally intensive organizations that provide direct services to animals in need.
Wildlife rehabilitation is a clear priority. The foundation gave $600,000 to Aware Wildlife Center for wildlife rehabilitation, and followed with additional grants of $30,000 in 2024 and 2025 for the same purpose. Animal rescue is another major area, with $50,000 to Wolf Mountain Sanctuary, $50,000 to Pilots to the Rescue, and $30,000 to Redstone Husky Rescue. The portfolio also includes sanctuary and refuge support, such as $50,000 to Noah's Lost Arc Animal Sanctuary and $25,000 to Keepers of the Wild. Horse rescue appears as well, through $50,000 to Carter Reservoir Mustangs Inc and $25,000 to Castleton Ranch Horse Rescue Inc. These awards show a consistent preference for organizations providing direct care, transport, rescue, and long-term refuge for animals.
Typical grant size is $10,000 at the 25th percentile, $10,000 at the median, and $25,000 at the 75th percentile, even though the recent record also includes larger awards such as $600,000. The repeated appearances of several recipients across 2023, 2024, and 2025 indicate multi-year support rather than one-time giving. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. The grant record points to institutional, programmatic support for organizations rather than personal aid, with awards recurring to the same animal-care groups in more than one year.
