Dave and Cheryl Duffield, PeopleSoft and Maddie's Fund founders, named the fund after a Miniature Schnauzer they owned, stating they wanted to make a contribution to animal welfare in their pet's honor.
The fund is the largest of its kind nationwide, dedicated strictly to animal welfare giving.
Maddie's Fund is currently planning to award $9 million to a coalition of 80 animal welfare organizations working together to provide an adoption guarantee for New York's healthy shelter dogs and cats within five years and a guarantee for treatable animals within ten years.
