Helping to give animals a loving home with their own place in the sun.
Our Mission
Dover's Chair is dedicated to assisting all types of animal welfare organizations. We offer microgrants of up to $5,000 annually designed to bolster established yet financially challenged programs within the rescue. By providing financial support in this manner, we empower rescues to make a more substantial impact in their communities.
Get Involved
There are many ways to get involved with Dover's Chair. You can volunteer your time at the rescues we support, found on our Grantees page, or spread the word about our mission.
