WE’RE HERE TO HELP IN TIMES OF NEED
The VIN Foundation is committed to community-driven disaster relief support.
When disaster strikes the VIN Foundation is here to help veterinary colleagues so they can help the animals we love. In order for a community-driven disaster relief fund to be set up the VIN Foundation ensures it fits within the organization’s mission and values.
100% of the donations made through the Disaster Relief program go directly to disaster relief efforts. VIN Foundation makes this possible through:
- Identifying a reliable boots on the ground organization in the midst of the disaster
- Directing the donations to the specified disaster relief efforts
- Covering all costs for staff time, administration, and donation processing fees
Past collaborations include:
- Florida Veterinary Medical Association for disaster relief in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton
- North Carolina Veterinary Medical Association for disaster relief in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene
- Texas Veterinary Medical Foundation for relief in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey
- University of Florida, CVM and Irma Animal Relief Fund of the Keys for relief in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma
- Australian Veterinary Association to support relief efforts for the Australian wildfires
- Hurricane Katrina, the VIN Foundation was the only nonprofit available who could accept credit card donations to help those in the aftermath.
