Rudy's Fund
Rudy’s Fund was established in 2010 in memory of Ruth Zabel, a founding member of Fringe Benefits.
Although she is no longer with us, Ruth’s spirit is present in the work that we do. She continues to be a guardian for our animal friends. Without her, Fringe Benefits would not be what it is today. We are forever grateful for her generosity, creativity, wit, life lessons and love!
Rudy's Fund is generated by private donations as well as special events and fundraisers hosted by Fringe Benefits and other supporters. It is available to 501(c)3 humane programs and organizations that are local, national or worldwide with an animal(s) in special need or for emergency situations where funding may need to be expedited.
Funding through Rudy's Fund is available without going through the application process. A letter of inquiry must be submitted and must specify the need for funding. Grants through Rudy's Fund are given in increments of up to $500 (exceptions may be made) and must be used to relieve suffering among an animal(s) or to alleviate a hardship for a program or organization due to an emergency and unforeseen situation, such as a natural disaster, repair or replace equipment, etc.
Letters of inquiry can be submitted anytime of year, please submit to:
