The skills and capabilities of an Assistance Dog are best retained and developed when their master continues to work with and challenge them. The Assistance Dogs which have proven most successful have been placed with individuals who have participated at some level with the gathering of funds for the cost of a dog Each student has the opportunity to contribute from their personal funds. There are a variety of ways the student may personally contribute. Each student is provided with information detailing the costs of an Assistance Dog, and the options and opportunities in which they can participate in working to cover those costs. Those who are unable to do fund raising, or who lack the personal resources are not refused a dog for those reasons.
Some contributors make a one-time contribution.
Others consider us each time they make charitable gifts. A trust fund can be established where G.P.A.D. Foundation is named as the recipient. The same can be done with life insurance policies and wills. All cash gifts to G.P.A.D. Foundation are placed directly into this fund unless they are designated for special projects. Most importantly, you receive the satisfaction of knowing that you have done something significant in giving someone the opportunity to become the most they can be.
