Funding is essential in ensuring our ability to continue our important work. We have targeted funds to support the specific needs of our animals and the community and we are always developing new initiatives to continually advance our best practices in care, placement, and overall support. Corporate grants are essential in providing financial support for our programs and funds such as these, among others. Reach out to us and we will work with you on a grant package tailored to your goals and needs.
Community Pets Program
The Community Pets Program is a compassionate outreach initiative of Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC). Our goal is simple: keep pets together with their human families by providing access to necessary health and welfare resources for pets. ACC’s Community Pets Program works within Bronx and Queens neighborhoods to identify pet owners in need and assist them, as much as possible, in keeping their pets. Free vaccination clinic events, free dog training classes, and free spay/neuter services are just some of what ACC offers. Here is a link where you can learn more about this program https://www.nycacc.org/services/community-pets-program. Your corporate grant will enable us to build on the success of our community pets program, and increase the level of support that we are able to offer to so many individuals in need and enable us to expand our reach in NYC even further.

Star Fund
As ACC is the only open admission shelter in NYC, thousands of animals requiring extensive medical and/or surgical care come to us for help. Our STAR (Special Treatment & Recovery) Fund provides the critical financial resources needed for medical care that only a specialized facility can provide. Your corporate grant will help ACC ensure that animals in need of urgent medical care have the resources they need to be on the road to recovery.

We are very thankful to the Petco Foundation for their continued support.

We offer outreach volunteer opportunities to corporate groups.

Then your team can participate in our outreach volunteer program, in which volunteers attend off-site outreach events and public to build awareness about ACC and our animals and work to recruit more volunteers, fosters, adopters, and donors to help our cause. Outreach volunteers also help to build awareness of ACC through their personal and professional networks, and with their communities through a variety of different efforts, from promoting on social media to posting flyers in their neighborhoods. We have a suggested donation for these events.
Every week we hold outreach tabling and mobile adoption events throughout NYC, where we engage with the public to spread the word about ACC, recruit more adopters, fosters, volunteers and donors. We are always seeking new venues and locations to hold our events so we can expand our reach in NYC even further, so hosting an ACC event at your location is an incredible way to help. Our outreach tabling and mobile adoption events are generally held outside where we can speak with the public, but depending upon the particular venue some events are held inside as well.
Birch Coffee is a generous host for many of our outreach and mobile adoption events at their coffee shops throughout NYC, enabling us to expand our outreach further helping to raise awareness and find loving homes for many of our animals. Birch Coffee donates their products for our fundraising events and has even created a special “Bully Blend” brew whose entire proceeds directly benefit ACC and the cause of pit bulls in general. You can purchase your bag of Bully Blend here. Always looking for more ways to help our animals and our cause, we are looking forward to even greater collaboration with Birch Coffee in the future and we are thankful for their partnership and continued support.
