About Maddie's Fund
Maddie's Fund® is a family foundation endowed by the founder of Workday® and PeopleSoft, Dave Duffield and his wife, Cheryl. Maddie's Fund is helping to achieve and sustain a no-kill nation by providing solutions to the most challenging issues facing the animal welfare community through its grant giving, hands-on animal care, and research and education.
Maddie's Fund is named after the family's beloved Miniature Schnauzer who passed away in 1997.
Maddie's® Treatable Assistance Program
Maddie's® Treatable Assistance Program supports the adoptions of senior and/or medically treatable homeless dogs and cats originating from animal control shelters in Alameda, Contra Costa and San Francisco Counties. The program provides adoption stipends of $700 per adoption of medically treatable or senior dogs and cats and $1,400 per adoption of medically treatable and senior dogs and cats. The program has been approved for $6M and runs from October 2012 through December 2014.
Maddie's Fund® is piloting the subsidy program to give local shelters and rescues the means to find more homes for vulnerable shelter pets, strengthen the relationship between animal control shelters and adoption guarantee groups, and shift some of the burden of responsibility for these pets away from cash-strapped government agencies.
