The Guardian Project | Care Grants & Rescue Partnerships Skip to main content

When you’re carrying so much, you shouldn’t carry it alone.

If you’re caring for an older rescue or a stray, you already know the quiet worry—and the fierce love behind it. This program is here to share the load through rescue partnerships and a limited number of monthly Care Grants.

How We Help

Simple pathways—so care reaches animals quickly, and fairly.

Official Partners

Rescue groups and shelters are where the hardest work happens. We coordinate support through partner organizations so help reaches the front lines reliably.

Nominate a Local Rescue

If your community has a trusted shelter, you can help bring support closer to home by nominating them to join our partner network.

FAQ

Clear answers, so you know what to expect.

Why don’t you ship directly to individuals?

To keep the program fair and reduce misuse, support is coordinated through partner rescue groups whenever possible.

What if there is no partner organization near me?

You may nominate a local shelter or rescue group. If your family is facing hardship, you can apply by email for a limited monthly Care Grant.

Is support guaranteed?

No. Support depends on availability and the order applications are received.
