"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated. -The Mahatma Gandhi
2008 Grant Guidelines and Criteria are available on this web site for new and continuing grantees.
For the 2008 grant cycle, the Colorado Pet Overpopulation Fund encourages the submission of proposals that address the overpopulation of cats. In addition to requesting funds to subsidize spay/neuter surgeries for owned cats, proposals may also request funding for public education and awareness efforts or other preventative strategies which address cat overpopulation. To illustrate the problem, consider these statistics reported by Colorado shelters and rescues for 2006.

Promotional Materials available for Colorado Pet Overpopulation Fund
The Colorado Pet Overpopulation Fund (The Fund) was established by the Colorado State Legislature to promote and fund spay/neuter surgeries and public education for responsible pet ownership. 5,336 spay/neuter surgeries were performed in 2007 as a result of the state checkoff fund. The fund has surpassed 31,000 spay/neuter surgeries and granted more than one million dollars in the six years since the first grants were awarded.
Organizations and individuals are being asked to help support the marketing effort by again encouraging Colorado taxpayers to contribute this year. You can help by displaying the Fund's poster. PDF's of the Fund's posters in two sizes and the fact sheet are available for download. If you encounter a problem opening these files, do not hesitate to contact us. We will be mailing promotional materials to organizations by January. If you did not receive a packet last year but would like to receive one this year, please contact the Fund: 303-722-6435 or mail to 1805 South Bellaire Street, Suite 400, Denver, CO 80222.
