Thank you for your interest.  As Fetch Thrift Shop continues to grow, we are looking for opportunities to help facilitate our mission of giving homeless pets a second chance and educating the public about the importance of spaying/neutering.

It is our goal to provide assistance to organizations dedicated to our mission.

Incomplete applications will not be valid, including those missing the documents to be emailed.

Please understand that completion of this application in no way commits Fetch Thrift Shop to providing cash grants or contributions to your organization. This information will be kept on file and any determination of grants will be the sole discretion of Fetch Thrift Shop. Applications will be accepted at any time and kept on file.
