Network within your community and the resources listed to locate possible funding sources. Remember also that you can conduct your own fundraising efforts to help with the cost of training a dog for your needs.
Ideas are unlimited…and Colorado Service Dogs, Inc. will help guide you along. With a little effort and lots of support, fundraising is rewarding and fun. Families discover a supportive and enthusiastic community of individuals and organizations willing to help improve the quality of life for an individual and his/her family. There may be the possibility of disability insurance covering all or some of the costs involved, so it pays to do some investigation into this first. Silver's Cause was created specifically to provide financial assistance to Service Dogs who have been diagnosed with a medical condition or injury that requires medical management and the cost of treatment exceeds the financial resources of the disabled person to whom the dog is partnered. OSLF Fund for Service Dogs Finally, the Assistance Dog United Campaign (ADUC) provides financial assistance in the form of vouchers to individuals with disabilities seeking to obtain a service dog/assistance dog from a member program. For more information about ADUC and how to apply for a voucher, please visit: Assistance Dog Campaign
Make a high impact difference and bring independence back with a donation. Did you know that there is estimated over 400,000 people in Colorado with a disability that would qualify them for a Service Dog? The goal of the Dollars For Scholars, scholarship program is to be able to place a dog with an individual whom is in need of one but can not otherwise afford one. 100% of your donation will provide the service dogs, equipment, training and care for those who can not otherwise afford it. Your tax-deductible contribution to Colorado Service Dogs, Inc. will have a tremendous impact on the lives of many children and adults. Every dollar that we fundraise is very important to our, Dollars For Scholars, scholarship program. Our fundraising minimum is $15,000, but we hope to raise much more. We would be very grateful for your support and contributions to the Dollars For Scholars, scholarship program.
