2027 Grant Program: Supporting Subsidized Veterinary Care for low-income guardians in British Columbia
The Hospital Trust Fund is looking to award 3-5 grants ranging from $8k-$25k for the 2027 calendar year to support programs providing subsidized veterinary care for low-income pet guardians (owners) in British Columbia.
We welcome proposals supporting all forms of subsidized veterinary care. However, recognizing the more limited funding available to support veterinary care needs, priority consideration may be given to programs that provide or expand access to veterinary services beyond spay/neuter. This prioritization does not apply to programs supporting Indigenous populations.

More about the grant:
The Hospital Trust Fund’s (“The Trust”) primary mission is to help offset the costs of veterinary care for low income individuals so that the human-animal bond is maintained. Central to that mission is working with charitable organizations delivering and/or coordinating subsidized veterinary services in the community.
The Trust focuses on funding work in the following key areas:
- Medical care of stray animals waiting to be adopted or reunited with their guardians;
- Low-cost spay and neuter services;
- Subsidizing medical costs to assist guardians otherwise unable to provide veterinary care;
- Education initiatives to promote awareness of responsible animal guardianship.
Basic Program Criteria:
- Awardee is a registered charitable organization in British Columbia.
- Awardee has existing experience in this space. Apologies, we are not funding brand new organizations or endeavours at this time.
- Programs must subsidize medical costs for guardians who are otherwise unable to provide veterinary care for their pet.
- Programs must have a process in place to clearly identify financial need for those receiving subsidized care.
- The Trust works directly with organizations and not pet guardians/owners; case management and paying for services is entirely managed by the organization running the program.
- Funds will be distributed at the end of 2025 for use during the 2026 calendar year.
- Additional program criteria are provided with the RFP/Grant Application.
