Ursula Landsrath Animal Rescue Fund Grants $65,000 to Animal Welfare Nonprofits
The Ursula Landsrath Animal Rescue Fund and the Community Foundation for Loudoun and Northern Fauquier Counties announced $65,000 in grant awards to 26 nonprofit animal rescue organizations across Virginia, including several in Loudoun County.
Ursula Landsrath founded the Animal Rescue Fund of Virginia as an independent organization in 2008, distributing more than $1 million to Virginia-based animal rescue organizations before shutting down grantmaking operations in 2017 when she became seriously ill. Her husband and friends created the Ursula Landsrath Animal Rescue Fund within the Community Foundation at her passing in January 2019 to ensure her grantmaking legacy.
Dedicated to her love of animals, the Ursula Landsrath Animal Rescue Fund continues to provide needed funds to grassroots animal rescue organizations while benefitting from staffing and investment support unique within the Community Foundation. Last year, the Ursula Landsrath Animal Rescue Fund granted $57,000 to animal welfare nonprofits.
“Since Ursula’s passing in 2019, ULARF has given out $209,200. Our committee hopes to build on this, raising our fund base to serve more nonprofit animal organizations in Virginia,” said Mary Johnson, chair of the Ursula Landsrath Animal Rescue Fund Grants Committee.
