The Aftermath K9 Grant

What is the Aftermath K9 Grant?

The Aftermath K9 Grant was founded to showcase, support, and reward the unique contributions made by K9 units across the country and, indirectly, to recognize and support the communities that we both serve. The month-long contest awards grants, up to $10,000 in total grants, to new or established K9 programs for maintenance, safety equipment, or officer training. Law Enforcement agencies can apply online by submitting a 300-word essay with accompanying photos of your K9’s or department showcasing how you can benefit from the Aftermath K9 Grant grant.

When is the grant?

Nominations for the 2020 K9 Grant will begin on September 8, 2020. Here are some dates to remember:

  • Nomination Period: 9/8 – 9/18
  • Application Review: 9/23 – 9/28
  • Winners Announced: 9/30

Who can apply?

Any Law Enforcement Agency that is in need of funding to maintain an existing K9 unit or looking to deploy a new one is eligible.

How can I apply?

When the K9 Grant officially opens, a link will be made available to take you to our application page.

In 2019, grants totaling $22,000, were awarded to seventeen K9 units across the country. Open to law enforcement departments nationwide, last year’s K9 Grant involved almost 380 agencies. During the voting period, more than 484,000 votes were cast with almost 13,000 coming from Instagram fans showing support for their local department. Coos County Sheriff’s Office and their K9’s Odin and Raven took home the 1st place, $5,000 grant.

 

We want to say a sincere THANK YOU to all of the departments and communities that participated in last year’s K9 Grant. The success of this grant is a direct reflection of each and every one of you. We hope to see you again as we begin the 2020 Aftermath K9 Grant!

Christopher R. - Tallahassee, FL

"My father passed away and was left unattended for a few days with His two dogs in the house. We called aftermath on a recommendation from the local police department. John and his team were so helpful, thoughtful and professional throughout this difficult process. They even helped us load my father’s Harley into our trailer because we didn’t have a ramp. John stood with us while his team worked and let us reminisce about our father with him. The team went through everything in the house and saved everything that they could for us. During this incredibly difficult time for us, they put our minds at ease knowing that they would take care of cleaning the house completely and thoroughly. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, john and team. "
