Regina Bauer Frankenberg Foundation

Guidelines Regina Frankenberg directed that the remainder of her estate be used to establish a foundation to support organizations and programs that promote the care, conservation, treatment, well-being and prevention of cruelty to animals. Funding Interests & Geographic Focus: Animal welfare, through two focus areas: - Protecting endangered and threatened species by supporting conservation and research. Geographic priority given to national organizations, including U.S. organizations with international programs; and - Reducing the homelessness, mistreatment and euthanasia of companion animals through adoption, training, spay/neuter and other programs by providing capacity building and infrastructure grants to organizations doing this work. Geographic priority given to organizations operating in New York City and neighboring counties only. The Foundation typically does not provide general operating support. Organizations that are focused on companion animal welfare in NYC and neighboring counties may apply through an open application process. Beginning in 2025, the Frankenberg Foundation will begin a closed application process for animal conservation grants. Organizations that have previously received a grant from the Foundation are invited to submit a proposal provided they have a qualifying project that meets any other guidelines noted on this page. If your organization has not received a grant from the Foundation in the past and you have a project you would like to propose for support, send a short email detailing the project and include your most recent annual report. Inquiry emails should be sent to Lindsey Crane, Program Officer at lindsey.s.crane@jpmorgan.com. Restrictions: No grants are made to individuals or private foundations or for matching gifts or loans. Organizations requesting support must have annual operating budgets of $250,000 or more. Organizations receiving support must not engage in or supply animals for vivisection. The Foundation does not provide support for projects in which animals are held in captivity and also does not make grants to wildlife sanctuaries. Eligibility: Organizations must be classified by the Internal Revenue Service as public charities and tax-exempt under section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Grant Cycle: The annual application deadline is July 1st. If July 1st falls on a weekend, the deadline is the next business day. Decisions are made before the Foundation’s fiscal year end, which is December 31st. Type of Support: Project and capacity-building JPMorgan Chase Relationship: Sole trustee
