Ouroboros Foundation
Returning to the Future
In Support of Non-human Animals
Funding is geared toward organizations that focus on:
1) The prevention of pet overpopulation through education or spay and neuter programs.
2) Innovative legislation to help protect non-human life and the prevention of cruelty. This includes (but is not limited to): tougher laws on prosecuting violent offenders, creating laws to restrict the use of unnecessary vivisection, and legislation to help reduce the cruel practices of industrial animal factories.
3) Education programs that promote welfare and compassion, and educational awareness about domestic overpopulation and wild animal conservation, alternatives to chemical testing on animals, and the use of animals in medical research where alternatives exist.

In Support of Natural Places
We fund organizations that acquire and preserve large tracts of land. The decision for acquisition is based on:
1) Preservation of specific species in fragile ecosystems that are threatened and need protection.
2) Corridors or tracts of land to assist migrating animals.
3) Creation of park districts. These purchases shall have life-long protection through the title of land trusts or park district.
This permanent safeguard shall be made impervious to the prevailing governing law.

In Support of Humans
We provide funding for programs that are geared towards promoting healthy and loving social and emotional bonds between people and their environment.
1) Support children's early attachment relationships and facilitate secure attachment for children with trusted caregivers (such as parent-child interactive therapy).
2) Support organizations that strive to break the cycle of domestic abuse.
3) Support environmental education for children and young adults.
