Soi Dog Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Soi Dog Foundation's giving is aimed at animal welfare, particularly dogs and cats, and it names Thailand as its priority, though its work is not restricted to that country.
- Grants are approved under specific agreements for defined costs or projects, so a request works best when it describes one costed project that fits its listed themes, such as spay/neuter, veterinary care, adoption or humane education.
- The foundation accepts applications on a rolling basis, so you can apply at any time, and the trustees judge each one against the objects of Soi Dog UK, so check your project against those before you write.
- No typical or largest grant size is stated, so base the amount on what your project actually costs rather than on the size of previous awards.
