Clone of SpotOn Gives - Innovation in Animal Welfare

At SpotOn, we believe animals enrich our lives through companionship, service, protection, and purpose. In honor of America's 250th anniversary, we're celebrating those who serve by dedicating $250,000 in grants to organizations that support veterans, military families, first responders, and the communities that serve them through service dogs, working dogs, animal-assisted programs, and other animal-centered initiatives.

Through this special SpotOn Gives initiative, we will support nonprofits across the United States that create life-changing connections between people and animals. These organizations foster healing, independence, connection, and purpose while strengthening the lives of veterans, military families, first responders, and those who dedicate their lives to protecting and serving others.

Whether through service dog placement, animal-assisted support programs, working animal initiatives, rescue and rehabilitation efforts, or other innovative approaches, we are proud to help amplify their impact and honor the organizations serving these communities.
