Little Guy Grants

When Elayne is on tour, the proceeds from 100% of all her after-show merchandise is donated to several rescue organizations in each city in which she is appearing. The rescues also appear in show advertising, enjoy a free night of comedy, distribute their literature and get to meet the community. Many of these organizations continue to receive periodic donations from Tails of Joy.

When not on tour, we accept Little Guy Grant requests by email.

Criteria: Rescue organizations must be registered 501©3 non-profits. They must be no-kill. All animals must be spayed/neutered/microchipped before placement. Rescues must do home checks before adoption and follow-up after. Their adoption contracts must stipulate if a placement doesn't work out for any reason, the animals must be returned to them. They must be mostly volunteer, with no more than one paid staff. They must receive no government money, but rely solely on donations and fundraising.

We do our best to help on a "most-needed" and timely basis. Our grants are small, but we hope meaningful. To be put on our list for future Little Guy Grants, please send an email to: info@tailsofjoy.net, with your organization's information and/or website.

These are some of the rescue organizations helped by Tails of Joy. We hope you will use this list when you are thinking of donating or adopting.
