Prince William SPCA has launched a program that aligns our mission with the work of creative young individuals seeking to make a difference in the lives of companion animals. The “Pawsitive” Impact Program provides resources and funding  for student-led, student-run proposals that will make a positive social change for animals in our community.

Up to $1,000 will be awarded for projects meeting the required criteria. 

The program is open to K-12 youth working either in a group or as individuals. Focus will be on companion animal projects. The funding aims to support projects as part of service awards for Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, 4-H groups, Honor Societies, etc. Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts earning the highest awards in their organizations are encouraged to apply. Winning projects should make a substantial impact on companion animals in the community. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis by a committee appointed by Prince William SPCA. Funding is limited and not all proposals will receive financial support.
