There are no grants for animal-related nonprofits! This is one of the most common frustrations I hear from nonprofits serving animals struggling to find grants. Thankfully, nothing could be further from the truth! As a grant writer focused solely on nonprofits that help animals, I recognize this niche requires some unique hacks.
