Major gifts, more life-changing partnerships

Philanthropic supporters, trusts and foundations are at the heart of the specialist, personalised services we offer to people with physical disabilities.

It takes time, care, and expert training to create a partnership. From a puppy learning core skills to an assistance dog being matched with a partner – major gifts power every step of the journey.

Canine Partners receives no government funding, so we rely on generous donations to breed, train, and support our expert assistance dogs.

Partnerships give disabled people the freedom to live life their own way. You can join us in that mission and see the difference your gift makes, in person.
