Folks often ask how they can help…

We’re an IRS-approved 501(c)(3) Public Service Charity – providing a unique training program for Veterans to train their own Service Dog. This training positively impacts the quality of life of the Veteran, their dog, and their family.

Every donation to SD4V is tax deductible. Your generosity changes lives.

Item: Training Scholarship

Purpose: Partial scholarships are available between $500 and $8,500. A full scholarship at $8,500 covers the entire program for the veteran and their dog–from adoption (if applicable) to training and supplies. Donors at the full scholarship level will meet the Veteran and their dog and follow their entire training journey. You will receive pictures, personalized commentary, and an invitation to watch classes and the Veteran’s graduation.

Item: Foster Supplies

Purpose: Home fostering may be necessary prior to placement and training with the Veteran. This process is critical to the success of the pairing, as it acclimates the dog to a routine, a caring family environment, and acquiring basic manners. SD4V provides everything a volunteer foster will need, 15 items in all.

  • $450 - Single Dog Foster Supplies
Donate: Foster Supplies
Item: 1-Year of Training Equipment

What is the key?

Donors Make the Difference!

Life-limiting symptoms of PTSD, TBI, MST manifest, as painful reminders. You can help a Veteran assess their symptoms, begin recovery, and find new hope in healing.

On average our graduates experience a 48% reduction in their life-limiting symptoms. This is assessed by using the PCL-5 before and after training, provided by SD4V.

We work alongside these Warriors, to help them write a new chapter of hope for a more promising future.

You can make a donation in memorandum of a loved one, your donation will help with emergency medical expenses for a Veteran’s Service Dog.

We are always trying to make it easier for you to donate. You can donate securely with a Credit/ Debit Card, or PayPal.

Ways to Give

Service Dogs for Veterans (SD4V) welcomes donations of publicly traded stocks and securities.

With the stock market performance over the past several years, you may have securities that have appreciated significantly. If you sell them, you could trigger capital gains and pay capital gain taxes on the sale. You could instead consider donating stocks with appreciated values to SD4V. By transferring your stock directly to SD4V, you could receive a tax deduction for the donation of the stock at its fair market value at the donation date. This typically provides the donor with a larger charitable donation deduction and eliminates the capital gains tax for the donor. The donation to the charity eliminates the capital gains tax since non-profit entities are not normally subject to taxes.

Compared with selling appreciated stock and donating the net after-tax proceeds, donating long-term appreciated securities directly to a charity will increase your gift and your tax deduction.

Please contact us at communityoutreach@sd4v.org and we would be glad to discuss donation of appreciated stock with you in more detail.
