General Operating Donations

Donations given to help cover general operating expenses will go towards the costs of training our service dogs and transitioning them to a disabled partner as well as the the costs of operating our various therapy dog programs. You may want to earmark your general operating donation as a “Special Occasion Donation”, honoring someone special for the holidays, a birthday, or another special occasion; or you could earmark your donation to be given “In Memory” of a loved person or pet.

Emergency Veterinary Fund (V-E-T Fund)

This is a restricted fund that is used to cover unusual veterinary expenses incurred by our dogs in training, and to provide a source of loans for graduates who experience out of the ordinary vet expenses for their service dog.

Employer Matching Gift Programs 

Many corporate employers will match a charitable donation to a 501(c)(3) and double or even triple the amount of your gift with the benefit going to VIP Dog Teams. Please check with your employer’s HR department to see if they have a matching gifts program.
