A $500 travel reimbursement per organization may be available for up to 20 groups, to be distributed after the Summit for pre-approved, non-profit Partner and Warm-Up Ring organizations on a first-come, first-served basis to offset the cost of attending.  If pre-approved for a travel reimbursement, you'll be asked after the Summit to provide an invoice with receipts for incurred travel expenses before receiving an up to $500 reimbursement.

Please note, the ASPCA will confirm with the main contact if a travel reimbursement has been approved prior to the Summit. Organizations will not receive a travel reimbursement without prior ASPCA approval and confirmation.
