National Veterinary Charitable Care Grant Program
The AVMF National Veterinary Charitable Care Grant Program provides AVMA member veterinary practitioners with a simple and effective way to offer low or no-cost, necessary veterinary services to the animals of clients facing personal hardships
due to COVID-19 or Domestic Violence. Applicants will be reimbursed in full or in part for the cost of treatment using expense codes contained in the online application form.
For requests related to COVID-19, there is a reimbursement cap of $500. For requests related to domestic violence, no cap is currently in place.
