Hi again Kristen,

Attached please find a submission confirmation and final pdf of Edison Animal Shelter’s application to the PetSmart Charities grant. If you have any questions on this, please do not hesitate to reach out. Otherwise, be on the lookout for an email from PetSmart. If you receive anything from them and could forward it along for my records, I would appreciate it. Thanks for your help on this!

Best,

Hi Kristen,

I wanted to follow up and see if you had a chance to review the PetSmart Charities grant. This grant is due by 5 p.m. today. In order to avoid any glitches with the system, I am planning to submit by 2 p.m. Therefore, if you could get any changes/comments back to me by 12 p.m. today, I would appreciate it. Otherwise, I will move forward with submission at 2 p.m. Thanks Kristen!

Best,

Melani

Hi Kristen,

Attached please find the PetSmart Charities Grant for your review. You will note that I added $1,000 to the budget for marketing costs. The goal of this grant is to see these programs expanded, therefore I added language about placing brochures and fliers describing this program around the community. This will make the application more competitive. Let me know your thoughts on this. Otherwise, please review this application and make any changes in track changes. If you would have this back to me by tomorrow at 12 p.m., I will have enough time to go in, make edits, and submit by the 5 p.m. deadlines. If you have any questions or would like to discuss, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thanks!

Best,

Melani

HI Melani,

In reading over the Transport Grant, it looks like we will NOT qualify after all.  We can discuss the other one on Tuesday.

Hi Kristen,

 

PetSmart released the two applications for the grants due later this month: the PetSmart Transport Grant and the PetSmart Keeping Families Together Grant. I have taken time to read through these applications and create an application breakdown. I have included them hereto. The highlighted sections outline the information I need from you; however, I do not expect you to fill this entire thing out. I was hoping that we could speak early next week to go over the narratives as well as discuss how to go about getting the data needed for these grants. Would Monday afternoon work for you for a call? Let me know.

 

Enjoy your weekend!

 

Best,

Melani

Hello Ms. Briggs,

 

I work for Millennium Strategies, the grant writing firm hired by the Township of Edison. In a recent meeting with Melissa Perilstein, we discussed some of the services of the animal shelter and we were asked to forward you grant opportunities for which the animal shelter might be a good fit. For this reason, I have included as an attachment two PetSmart Charities grants that have recently been released. If you could look over these grants and let me know if you are interested in setting up a call to discuss to see if the Edison Animal Shelter would be eligible for either of these opportunities, I would really appreciate it. If you have any questions or comments in the meantime, please contact me.

 

Thank you in advance for looking these over and I look forward to working with you in the future!

 

Best,

Melani
