Please Support Health Research
Donations to support SDCA research are very welcome and much appreciated. There are three ways to donate:
The Bunnie Austin* Health Fund
The Bunnie Austin Health Fund at the SDCA specifically supports health research. Donations to the fund support research projects funded by the SDCA and sample collection clinics at national specialties. You can make a donation to the Bunnie Austin Fund through the SDCA Store. Donations to the Bunnie Austin Fund are not tax-deductible.
Canine Health Foundation
If you would prefer to make a tax-deductible donation, the SDCA has a donor-advised fund at the Canine Health Foundation (CHF). Monies in that account are CHF funds and must be spent on CHF projects, but the club directs to a great extent how our monies are spent and regularly supports projects that benefit Deerhounds. Individuals can make a tax-deductible donation to the CHF. If you want your CHF donation to go to the Deerhound donor-advised fund, tell them when you make your donation.
Directly to Research Institutions
You can also make tax-deductible donations directly to our research institutions; please contact the appropriate researcher for more information.
