Companion animals trust funding awards for companion animal welfare
Companion Animals Trust is dedicated to supporting projects beneficial to the community, those that provide care and protection to companion animals and projects that directly improve companion animal welfare and urban animal management. Companion Animals Trust has four award types and there are two funding rounds per annum.
Awards are funded by Companion Animals Trust and Companion Animals NZ.
The award closing dates each year are 1 February & 1 July.
Please be advised that, due to funding constraints, we will not be offering a funding round in July 2026. We are grateful for the strong interest in our grants and appreciate the important work being undertaken by applicants.
