- The Foundation Trustees desire that the Foundation be a catalyst for change and therefore prefer to fund projects that will assist an organization in a long-term change, such as expanding capacity or undertaking a new area of service.
- Requests for funds to support on-going program costs are given a lower priority.
- Organizations that provide service animals at no cost to sight-impaired or otherwise physically handicapped individuals are generally given priority in funding over those that require a significant fee.
- The Foundation does not generally provide funding for animal sanctuaries that are not focused on wildlife rehabilitation and release.
- Requests focused primarily on environmental/conservation education are not typically funded.
