Press Release Source: Northeast Kansas Animal Welfare Foundation. Northeast Kansas Animal Welfare Foundation is pleased to announce the recipients of over $16,000.00 in grant funding for capital improvements and professional development scholarships. This grant funding will have a substantial impact on animal rescue and sheltering efforts in our region. The current economic landscape is making it difficult for some organizations to keep up with the demands of veterinary care, pet overpopulation, and inflation on general operating costs. “Our intention is that these grant awards can help offset the strain placed on their budgets, allowing them to focus primarily on direct care for the animals they serve,” said Justin Brokar, President & CEO of Northeast Kansas Animal Welfare Foundation. “Thanks to our donors, we’re able to play an important role in supporting the infrastructure and the people needed to care for the pets in need.”
