  • Bequests
  • Corporate matching gifts

There are many ways for contributing to the special work we do to accomplish Dogs For The Deaf’s mission.

"Over 30 years ago I did television interviews with DFD founder Roy Kabat. His dream turned into reality that has operated with consistent purpose, clear focus, and financial accountability. DFD is without doubt one of the best run non-profits you'll find anywhere.
-Marvin Rhodes, DFD Board Member

With encouragement from Good Sam Headquarters, members and chapters all across the U.S. and Canada support Dogs for the Deaf, Inc. in the following ways:

  • Good Sam members put on a variety of fund raising events and work very hard, using their energy and enthusiasm to help these unique dogs and special people
  • Good Sam members conduct many in-home interviews of applicants for dogs, saving Dogs for the Deaf a considerable amount of time and money.
  • As Good Samers travel and meet new people, they spread the word of the wonderful service provided by Dogs for the Deaf. This has been an immense help in increasing our network of applicants and donors.

We want all Good Sam members to know how important their support is to the success of our mission of saving dogs and helping people and how much we appreciate their hard work. Good Sammers, with their dedication to helping others, are making a miraculous difference in the lives of both people and dogs by supporting Dogs for the Deaf, Inc.
