AKC Humane Fund Created to Unite Animal Lovers in Promoting the Joy and Value of Responsible Ownership.
The AKC Humane Fund sponsors informational programs aimed at both adults and children, awards grants to organizations which conduct and promote humane treatment of dogs and assists breed rescue programs. Holding a fundraiser for charity is a great way to show your community how much you care about your cause, and to give members of the public a way to contribute to issues that matter to them. The AKC Humane Fund is a charity that is inclusive of all pets, so it will appeal to a wide range of donors.
