Leadership Guild
Why I joined
In this video, veterinarian and practice owner, Dr. Lloyd Reitz reminds us that supporting the AVMF doesn’t have to mean just contributing financially. “It helps me fill my cup (and others who are in need), knowing that someday when I am in need somebody will be there to help me,” Dr. Reitz echoes the heart of many in the veterinary community.
A community of purpose. A commitment to progress.
Since its inception in 2021, the AVMF Leadership Guild has brought together donors who share a passion for veterinary medicine and animal well-being. Through annual giving, members play a vital role in funding charitable care, disaster relief, educational support, research, and more.
Each level of support reflects a growing investment in our mission—and a shared belief in the future we’re building together.
Together we help move veterinary medicine forward
The AVMF Leadership Guild unites compassionate individuals who believe in the power of giving to support animal care, veterinary professionals, and a healthier tomorrow. Whether you’re a veterinarian, a pet owner, or simply someone who cares—you belong here.
