The David and Jane Gotelli Family Fund, hosted by the Napa Valley Community Foundation, was established to support the welfare of small animals in Napa County. This fund is dedicated to funding services and programs that aim to improve or maintain the health and welfare of small animals across the region, demonstrating a commitment to animal welfare initiatives within the local community.
The grant program initiated by the David and Jane Gotelli Family Fund specifically targets organizations operating in Napa County that are involved in small animal welfare. The program offers financial support ranging from $5,000 to $30,000 to qualified groups providing care, shelter, and medical services to small animals such as dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, birds, and lizards. This encompasses a broad spectrum of activities, including general operational support for animal welfare organizations, animal shelters and sanctuaries, subsidized spay/neuter services, rescue and care operations for small animals, and educational outreach efforts aimed at promoting the well-being of small companion animals. The granting process prioritizes projects and organizations that have a direct impact on the health, safety, and humane treatment of small animals within the Napa County area.
