REACH™ Animal Care Program

Reaching every animal with charitable healthcare

AVMF team member, Melanie Kreiling shares why the REACH™ program is an important resource for AVMA member veterinarians, supporting charitable care when financial barriers keep pets from getting the care they deserve.

Your gifts in action

REACH aims to break down barriers to immediate veterinary care by offering grants to any of the more than 100,000 AVMA members nationwide, increasing assistance to the most vulnerable communities. This program empowers AVMF to bring our “Helping Veterinarians Help Animals” motto to fruition on a much greater national and regional scale, potentially assisting thousands more animals in need every year. Below are just some of the many animals helped by the REACH program.

“The AVMF REACH Program has helped us treat deserving patients and clients in new ways not before possible. Being able to inform a client struggling with severe financial difficulty and a sick pet that they will be taken care of is such a blessing. I’ll never forget the generosity of this program, the client’s gratitude, and tears of joy as we see hope for a loved one return.”
