Tips for Applicants

This funder does not offer grants to external organisations. Instead, it provides direct support in the form of assistance dogs to eligible veterans. Individuals seeking an assistance dog should inquire directly about the application process for the Defence Community Dogs program.

Giving Philosophy

This foundation operates its own direct service program, Defence Community Dogs, rather than providing grants to external organisations. It values a unique 'win-win-win' model, providing rescued dogs, veterans, and inmates a second chance at life, focusing on practical support for veterans' mental health.
