Geography
Observed giving in the latest year is entirely concentrated in Colorado, with all 21 grants going to in-state recipients.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 21 distinct independent grantees across multiple cities and animal-care specializations, but funding is narrowly focused on animal-related organizations rather than a wide range of missions.
New Applicants
Direct multi-year turnover cannot be assessed from one year of data, but the foundation published a clear letter submission route and deadline and funded many distinct recipients in the latest year, suggesting new applicants have a plausible pathway even though long-term patterns are unknown.
