Disaster Relief
The VIN Foundation is collaborating with the North Carolina Veterinary Medical Association (NCVMA) for Hurricane Helene disaster relief efforts, and with the Florida Veterinary Medical Association (FVMA) for Hurricane Milton disaster relief efforts.
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:
- Hurricane Katrina, the VIN Foundation was the only nonprofit available who could accept credit card donations to help those in the aftermath.
- 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
