Battersea Grants
We are very pleased to launch our Grant Programme.
Battersea is committed to supporting other animal rescue organisations. We know that we can help more animals by working together with others than we can alone, especially in areas where the need is high but there is scarce resource and little public help. We offer a range of grants to help successful applicants develop and deliver specific projects with measurable outcomes that will benefit dogs and cats. Our grants are available to any organisation, no matter how large or small.
Our 2018 grants programme is now closed for applications. The next round will open in January 2019, further information about this will be available soon.
Battersea Animal Partnership Grant Programme 2018
If you are a Battersea Animal Partner intending to join ADCH, or looking for some funding to enable you to help more animals or to provide improved care to existing animals there is a brand new funding opportunity now open.
There is a funding pot of £50,000 available. Applicants can apply for a grant of up to £15,000. Please note we cannot fund anything retrospectively – i.e. we cannot cover the cost of items purchased prior to the Grant being awarded or projects already completed.
Minimum Standards Grant Programme 2018
If your organisation is an ADCH Member who has not yet attained the ADCH Minimum Standard, but which, through the assistance and support of a small grant, would be able to reach the required standard there is a brand new funding opportunity now open.
There is a funding pot of £30,000 available. Applicants can apply for a grant of up to £5,000. Please note we cannot fund anything retrospectively – i.e. we cannot cover the cost of items purchased prior to the Grant being awarded or projects already completed.
Academy Change Programme 2018
