As people around the world come together on November 30 for #GivingTuesday, a day of generosity, we ask that you consider supporting The Pets in the Classroom grant program.

Like so many other organizations, we would not exist without the generosity of others.  We are so appreciative of all those who make our grant program possible – our partners, sponsors, and private donors…and the many teachers who use our grants to impact the lives of their students! Our program has provided over 209,000 grants to teachers since its inception, meaning over 8.3 million students have had the opportunity to interact with a pet on a daily basis – an experience that can shape their lives for years to come!  As we look to the future, we hope the impact of the program continues to grow…with the help of people like you.
