Jameson Humane Announces Awards of Inaugural Grants for Global Stewardship Further Driving Global Animal Welfare Impact

This inaugural granting cycle represents a profound step toward a shared commitment to global stewardship.

NAPA, CA, UNITED STATES, December 17, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Jameson Humane today announced the recipients of its inaugural Grants for Global Stewardship, awarding $100,500 to 11 organizations advancing animal welfare, community wellness, humane education, and global spay/neuter initiatives. The funding was made possible by contributions to the 2025 WineaPAWlooza Fund A Need.

This milestone represents a major achievement for the Grants for Global Stewardship initiative, which opened its inaugural application cycle on September 1, 2025. The program’s first grant cycle drew more than 32 applicants. After eligibility screening and a comprehensive review by the nine-member Grant Advisory Committee, 11 organizations were selected for their impactful and community-centered work. Funding will support programs including spay/neuter services, humane education, sanctuary and rescue operations, legal action on behalf of animals, international welfare initiatives, and community veterinary support.

“These grants represent our commitment to supporting organizations that are creating meaningful, measurable impact for animals and communities,” said Monica Stevens, Founder & President of Jameson Humane. “Because of our donors, we are able to support transformative programs that protect animals, uplift communities, and create long-term, systemic impact.”

All grants will be distributed by December 15, 2025; Grantees will submit required impact reports by December 30, 2026.
