Empowering the People Behind Pet Care
The Pet Boss Nation Foundation™ is a 501(c)3 helping educate, elevate and expand pet businesses across the United States.
The Pet Boss Nation Foundation™ is on a mission to strengthen the pet industry by supporting the businesses that make a difference in the lives of pets every day.
Through education, financial assistance, and community-building initiatives, we’re here to lift up the people behind the pet businesses that keep our furry friends happy and healthy.
Formed with an idea in 2024 from our clients and founded February 2025.
Scholarships
The Foundation provides scholarships to all Pet Boss Nation® programs and events. This helps pet professionals access business coaching, resources, and training when they otherwise wouldn’t have the funds to invest in such an opportunity or their money can now be redirected to other important resources.
Education and improving their skills empowers them to grow, thrive, and expand their impact.
As money is raised, scholarships for education at organizations outside of Pet Boss Nation will be an option. Stay tuned! If you’re seeking support or eager to give back, join us in forging a more resilient and thriving pet industry.
Grants
We know how hard it is for small businesses when cash flow is tight or traditional lending isn’t an option. Too many times you’re left not growing, not evolving and worried about the future of your business.
We want to help change that!
As money is raised, we hope to provide financial assistance through grants which can be used for recovery in the event of natural disasters, a bridge during health issues, for expansion opportunities and pet business startups.
Whether you need assistance or want to make a difference, come together with us to create a robust, successful pet industry.
