Support Our Clients
NEADS clients pledge to support the organization by raising $12,000 to help sustain our programs. You can join the thousands of people who have donated in order to help our clients. Read the clients’ stories here, then make your donation to NEADS.
Please note: The fundraising goal for clients has remained the same for nearly a decade. Over time, the cost to breed, raise, train, and match, each Service or Facility Dog has increased. For this reason, NEADS will begin asking clients to raise $12,000 for the organization starting on April 1, 2025. Clients who were accepted into our program prior to April 1, 2025, will continue to raise $8,000 for NEADS.
