Annual Conference Scholarships
Every year, the New England Federation of Humane Societies (NEFHS) provides scholarships to support attendance at our Annual Conference, thanks to the generous funding from The John T. and Jane A. Wiederhold Foundation. These scholarships are designed to help qualified individuals from animal welfare and protection organizations participate in this enriching event.
About The John T. and Jane A. Wiederhold Foundation
The John T. and Jane A. Wiederhold Foundation is dedicated to supporting animal welfare and protection organizations. Their funding emphasizes the safety and wellbeing of dogs and cats and extends to organizations devoted to protecting and conserving endangered wildlife.
In adherence to the grantor’s preferences, priority will be given to applicants from organizations with annual budgets of less than $500,000 and whose organization has not sent anyone to the conference in the past 3 years. However, applicants not meeting these criteria may still apply, and additional scholarships may be awarded based on available funds.
