The Greater Cincinnati Foundation organized a group of committed donors and experts from the animal welfare field to review grants and award $160,000 to support area pets. The committee – chaired by Anne DeLyons – included Maureen Heekin, Ann Hill, Karen Meyer, Linda Pavey, Marjorie H. Rauh and Martha Wolf. In all, 14 organizations across the eight-county region received funding of $5,000 to $15,000.
The focus was on reducing avoidable euthanasia and supporting the health and well-being of sheltered animals, as well as those living with low-income families. The funding came from the Animal Protection Fund, Burt Family Fund, Jean Siemer No-Kill Animal Shelter Fund and the William Hunter Young Fund, all held at the foundation.
