Trusts and Foundations

A nation of animal lovers

Scotland is a nation of animal lovers. We care deeply about our pets, wildlife, farm animals and the environment they live in.  The Scottish SPCA values the invaluable support from grant-making Trusts and Foundations as we strive to make animal welfare in Scotland a national priority.

Trusts and Foundations are vital to our work

From our pioneering education work, collaborating with SPCA’s around the world to conduct research and share best practice, to the core of what we do every day of the year – rescuing and rehabilitating abused or neglected domestic pets and injured wildlife, our wide and varied animal welfare work provides opportunities for Trusts and Foundations to fund specific projects, operational costs or long-term programmes for the Scottish SPCA.

Programmes and work made possible by Trusts and Foundations

Our trailblazing Animal Guardians programme would not have been possible without the support of a charitable Trust. Animals Guardians is helping children across Scotland to learn about how to interact and love animals.

We have been able to buy equipment for our Special Investigations Unit and make vital improvements to our Centres because of the generosity of funders. Trust funding has helped to pay for a vital cat isolation unit, protecting healthy cats from those who contract the highly contagious cat flu or other diseases.

How you can support Scotland’s animals

We would welcome the opportunity to show representatives from a Trust or Foundation around a Centre or discuss the research we’re involved in that’s setting the agenda for animal welfare. You might even wish to spend time with our Education Officers or out on the road on the frontline to witness the work of our dedicated and passionate Inspectors or Animal Rescue Officers. Or perhaps your Trust or Foundation would like to see an end to serious animal-related crimes, and would like to know more about the harrowing work our Special Investigations Unit does.

We have a small, dedicated Trusts and Foundations team who work closely with funders to match the best project to support. We then provide you with updates on how we’re using your generous funding and make sure you fully understand how your generosity has made a significant difference to animals and animal-owners across Scotland.
