We understand the confusion! This is one of the reasons we've updated the Membership Program - many supporters weren’t sure whether they are Members, donors, or both.

There is a strong chance that you've been contributing since before we received DGR- status and before you could claim any financial contributions as a tax deduction. We deeply appreciate your generosity and long-term commitment. Thank you. 

Many of you joined as either veterinary, associate or student supporters in our early days and as a result became Members. 

We warmly invite you to select a new Membership tier to continue shaping our mission, and we'll note your regular monthly (or quarterly) contributions as tax-deductible donations to avoid any confusion. 

Or, please email us with any questions.
