NAVS Animal Sanctuary Assistance Program (ASAP)

About this program

The National Anti-Vivisection Society (NAVS) operates the Animal Sanctuary Assistance Program (ASAP), an emergency grant fund providing immediate financial aid to sanctuaries, rescues, and shelters for rapid-response needs such as emergency medical procedures, repairs after storms or fires, vaccines, spay/neuter services, emergency surgeries, and support following cruelty seizures or disasters. NAVS prioritizes organizations that provide species-appropriate, lifelong care—especially those caring for animals retired from laboratories or educational use—and groups responding to cruelty, hoarding, or disaster situations. Eligible organizations facing a critical or emergency need may apply via NAVS’s online application; the posting does not specify deadlines, award amounts, cost-share requirements, or contact details.
