Disaster relief
Supporting veterinarians, our clients, and our communities
AVMF Disaster Relief and Reimbursement Grants help animals and those that care for them following devastating events such as hurricanes, tornados, floods, wildfires, and other natural disasters. AVMF grants can cover the costs of veterinary charitable medical care and animal boarding during these times.
AVMF Disaster Grants: Support when it matters most
AVMF is here to help when disaster strikes. In this short video tutorial, we’ll walk you through who’s eligible, what expenses are covered, and how to submit a successful application—so you can focus on recovery and caring for animals when it matters most.
“Because of the generous donors who support the foundation, the AVMF is fortunate to be able to step in and help the communities being impacted by these disasters. Veterinary professionals are providing for the immediate needs of animals requiring medical care and boarding, all while they may be experiencing personal losses of their own as well. Without you, this care would not be available to help those who need it during this time.” —José V. Arce, DVM
