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.

Who we help!
