Each committee member read all of the grants and scored them in 7 categories including cost:benefit ratio, track record of the applicant, and evidence of compelling need for the program. The proposals were excellent, and the committee found it very difficult to rank them in order. Ultimately, 16 grant applications were funded for a total of $275,000. Selected projects proposed to increase sterilization of pets in low-income families, rural counties, pit bulls, feral cats, and animals available for adoption. The competition was intense, and many fine projects could not be funded because the funds had already been allocated to other projects. The winning proposals are posted here so that agencies applying for funds in 2008 can learn from these exciting projects and from the excellent preparation of the proposals. Competition for spay/neuter funds in 2008 will be high. The grant committee will focus attention on those proposals that are the most efficient * meaning more surgeries are being performed for less money. However, there is recognition that in some areas of the state there may be limited resources for development of low-cost spay/neuter programs and that the cost of providing services in these areas may be higher. Successful grant applications are likely to be those that concisely communicate that the problem addressed in the proposal is important, that they understand the issues involved, that they have developed a logical and feasible plan for the project, and that they have the resources and talent to carry it out successfully.
