Open Door Veterinary Collective
Veterinary Assistance Fund
We understand the stress for families when they can’t afford unexpected emergency or urgent veterinary care and the stress on the veterinary teams when cost impacts their ability to treat these pets. That’s why we created a veterinary assistance fund to help bridge this gap and help save pets lives and get the care they need.
How to Apply:
If you are a veterinary provider listed on pethelpfinder.org you are eligible to apply for funds to help a client in need. Log in to your page on the site to apply and get an instant approval for up to $500. Each clinic is currently eligible for 2 cases per year.
Eligibility Criteria for Grant 
- Only direct veterinary providers can apply and all funds go directly to the practice. Individuals cannot apply directly.
- Organizations must be listed on pethelpfinder.org to qualify for funds.
- Grants may only be used for urgent or emergency care where a good prognosis is anticipated by the veterinarian.
- Grant amount is up to $500 per case. Practices can apply for up to 2 per year.
- Practices receiving funds must submit the pet story and complete the short application. Instant approval will be given if application is complete, the clinic is under the 2 awards for the year and funds are available (this will be indicated prior to the application process). Funds will be paid by electronic payment within 2 weeks. Practices can ask the client to seek additional donations from other sources if the cost is more than the grant, or if they want to ask the client to get matching funds covered, at their discretion.
