How YOU Can Help

The total cost of operating Dogs for the Deaf, Inc. comes from contributions from:

• Individuals
• Service Clubs
• Businesses
• Foundations
• Memorial Designations
• Bequests
• Corporate Matching Gifts

"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
