Disaster Relief Grants
We are here to help our nonprofit partners assist pets in need when — not if — the next disaster strikes. Disaster Relief Grants provide financial support to nonprofit animal organizations and local/state government agencies whose communities have suffered the impact of natural or other disasters.
Applications may be submitted at any time.

Care Knows No Boundaries® Grants
Our Care Knows No Boundaries (CKNB)® grants enable veterinarians and certified veterinary technicians to remove the geographic barriers that keep pets from receiving much-needed care. Any veterinarian or certified veterinary technician within any Mars business segment in the United States is eligible to apply for funding to assist with travel expenses in the form of a CKNB grant. This grant enables global volunteer work that supports Mars Petcare’s purpose of A Better World for Pets.

HOPE Funds
HOPE Funds program offers financial assistance for income-qualified pet owners whose pet is suffering from an immediately life-threatening condition. You do not need to be an existing Banfield Pet Hospital® client to apply for HOPE Funds, but treatment and the application process will need to be done at a Banfield Pet Hospital. Due to the high demand for assistance, not everyone who applies for HOPE Funds will be approved, and the entire cost of your pet’s treatment will not be covered. All applications submitted must be reviewed for both medical and financial eligibility.
Please contact your local Banfield Pet Hospital for more information and eligibility.
Resources for individual pet owners in need
While the Banfield Foundation does not provide direct support to individual pet owners, we want to provide information about other nonprofit organizations that do. If you are a pet owner struggling to find veterinary care and pet food resources, please see our list of national veterinary care resources and local resources by state.
