Our work makes a global impact
Morris Animal Foundation is a global leader in supporting scientific research that advances veterinary medicine. Since our founding, we’ve invested more than $100 million toward more than 2,400 studies that have improved the health and quality of life for dogs, cats, horses and wildlife in more than 150 countries around the world.
These studies have led to better preventions, diagnostic tools, treatment protocols and even cures for what ails the world’s animals. Some of these breakthroughs have become industry gold standards and are used in every veterinary practice in the country.
At any given time, Morris Animal Foundation is managing about 300 animal health and welfare research studies at the world’s most respected research institutions, colleges of veterinary medicine and zoos. Each year, we also fund about 30 veterinary student scholar projects.
These reports provide an overview for each of our species areas of focus, including dog, cat, horse and wildlife. The reports showcase accomplishments for the previous year, as well as give a listing of projects funded for the current year.
These reports provide an overview of our top five funding priorities.
