Thanks to the generous support of Maddie’s Fund, NACA is committed to bolstering state associations and regional conferences, channeling resources back to the officers and agencies working hard every day to serve their communities and the animals in them.

We actively assist regional, state, and national associations in conducting training conferences through sponsorship, exhibition opportunities, and presentations. If you would like to request NACA’s sponsorship or support for your conference, please note that an application process is required. NACA also provides year-round training opportunities covering a wide array of subjects to meet the diverse needs of members across the nation.

To ensure funding consideration, please note the following deadlines:
Events held January 1 – June 30 — Applications must be submitted by November 30 of the prior year
Events held July 1 – December 31 — Applications must be submitted by May 31 of the same year

Submitting early is encouraged, as funding decisions are made on a rolling basis. NACA also provides year-round training opportunities covering a wide array of subjects to meet the diverse needs of members across the nation.
