Grants to Have Pets in the Classroom
Posted by Janice McInnis on 6/17/10

The Pet Care Trust has developed the Pets in the Classroom
grants program to help teachers support classroom pets
through direct, no-hassle grants. These easy to apply for
grants can be used for the purchase of new pets, pet
environments or pet food and supplies for existing
classroom pets. Teachers can fill out an online application
for either a sustaining grant for an existing classroom pet
or a new pet grant. Once the grant request is approved, a
certificate and equipment checklist is sent out to the
recipient in a matter of days. Grants are offered to
Kindergarten through 6th grade classes, and can be used for
the purchase of fish, small animals, small birds, reptiles
or amphibians; as well as pet environments and supplies.
Grants are awarded in amounts of $50, $100 or $150. Visit
