Maui Humane Society receives $1 million grant

The Maui News

The Dave & Cheryl Duffield Foundation has given the Maui Humane Society a four-year, $1 million grant, according to an announcement.

The private charitable foundation’s grant will be used to support full funding of the Wings of Aloha transfer program, hiring a new full-time cat program coordinator, providing Humane Alliance training, upgrading cat housing, purchasing a new transport vehicle and buying additional equipment needed for the agency’s spay-and-neuter clinic.

Also, a grant in support of a full-time foster pet care coordinator was received from Maddie’s Fund, a national family foundation established by the Duffields to revolutionize the status and well-being of companion animals.

“We are grateful to the Dave & Cheryl Duffield Foundation for believing in the game-changing work we are doing on behalf of Maui’s homeless animals. Thanks to Maddie, the little dog that inspired a revolution, we can help more animals than ever,” said Jerleen Bryant, society chief executive officer.

Each year, the society helps thousands of animals, taking in more than 6,000 animals to shelter and serving many times that number through community outreach programs. The agency also provides support for Maui’s approximately 90,000 pet owners as well as animal management services for Maui County.
