This is the most urgent fundraising campaign in our history.
We have $60 million committed toward our new national Dog Guide training school, but we must raise another $20 million to resume construction and continue operating. To get there, we’re asking everyone — government, major donors, corporate partners, Lions Clubs, and the public — to join us. Our public campaign goal is to raise $5 million dollars toward the shortfall, and we need it urgently to get building again.
Our Dogs are Ready to Work. But our Future is in Jeopardy.
We’ve had to pause construction on our new Dog Guide training school because of a $20 million shortfall. Without urgent action, construction could be halted permanently, and our capacity to operate our training program could be lost.
How can I help?
We are calling on the public to raise $5 Million toward the shortfall, and we need help urgently to get building again, secure the future of our programs, and meet the growing demand from Canadians waiting for a life-changing Dog Guide. Every contribution, large or small, will bring us closer to opening the doors of this world-class facility, safeguarding our programs, and giving Canadians living with disabilities greater independence, safety, and support.
