About

RSPCA ACT is an animal welfare organization dedicated to saving lives by rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming abandoned, abused, and neglected animals in the Australian Capital Territory. Their mission is to maximize the number of animals they can save through sheltering, adoption services, foster care networks, veterinary care, and community education programs. They support animals in need while also providing services to the community such as dog training, cat boarding, and school education sessions.

Tips for Applicants

Highlight any measurable impacts on animal rescue, rehabilitation, or rehoming numbers, and show alignment with their current programs like foster care, adoption, or community education.

Giving Philosophy

RSPCA ACT focuses on direct animal welfare outcomes, prioritizing organizations and programs that contribute to animal rescue, rehabilitation, rehoming, and prevention of cruelty. They value partnerships that expand their capacity to care for more animals and community engagement through education and outreach.
