How is CHF associated with the AKC?
The American Kennel Club created the AKC Canine Health Foundation in 1995 as a 501(c)3 charitable organization with the mission of raising funds to support canine health research. CHF is currently located in the Raleigh, North Carolina offices of the AKC, and they provide us with office space and services. This in-kind donation allows CHF to keep operating expenses low and apply a greater percentage of donations directly to canine health research. In addition, AKC contributes $1 million per year in support of health research. However, CHF is a separate organization with our own Board of Directors, staff and accounting system.
