$10,000 Received #ThanksToMaddie

We’re excited to announce that Animal Fix Clinic has received a BIPOC-Led Operating Support Grant from Maddie's Fund®!

Maddie's Fund® is a national family foundation that offers the animal welfare industry a national voice, important funding opportunities, learning resources and easy access to network connect and share ideas to keep people and pets together.

This year they introduced a new grant opportunity to support the operations of Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC)-led animal welfare organizations like ours. In addition to our Medical Director Dr. Jean Goh, most of our staff are People of Color, a reflection of the community we serve. The Bay Area is gentrifying and the cost of living, renting commercial property and operating a business continues to rise, while the legacy of redlining and the disparity between White and BIPOC-led organizations owning property remain strong. This generous grant in the amount of $10,000 from Maddie’s Fund® will go towards the purchase and renovation of our new building. #ThanksToMaddie, we’ll be able to provide low-cost and no-cost veterinary surgical care at our new location for years to come.
