Regina Bauer Frankenberg Foundation
Guidelines
Regina Frankenberg directed that the remainder of her estate be used to establish a foundation to support organizations and programs that promote the care, conservation, treatment, well-being and prevention of cruelty to animals.
Funding Interests:
Animal welfare, through two focus areas:
- Protecting endangered and threatened species by supporting conservation and research; and
- Reducing the homelessness, mistreatment and euthanasia of companion animals through adoption, training, spay/neuter and other programs by providing capacity building and infrastructure grants to organizations doing this work.
The Foundation typically does not provide general operating support.
Geographic Focus:
- With respect to wild animals: National, including U.S. organizations with international programs.

Eligibility:
