Welcome to the newly relaunched Urgent Need Fund from Lady Freethinker! This grant program was created to help organizations involved with the rescue and care of animals in need.

The Urgent Need Fund is for organizations that are planning or currently working on projects to rescue or care for animals or raise awareness to improve the way animals are treated. This may include rescue missions, medical care, food, housing, or educational programs.

Organizations from anywhere in the world are eligible to apply for grants of up to $10,000 each.
