The Animal Welfare Fund supports projects and organizations that help low-income people stay with their pets through hardships, support population control and/or educate pet owners and communities about humane treatment of animals.

The Animal Welfare Fund was established in 2007 by an anonymous donor. The fund is further supported by the Doree Taylor Charitable Foundation, Bank of America, N.A. and the George F. Lyman and Ernestine Lyman Trust.
