Your clinic can make a difference
We depend on the support of veterinary clinics across Ontario, and the Farley Foundation is one of the many ways that veterinary teams give back to their communities.
Help pets and people in your community
To be eligible for Farley Foundation funding, a veterinarian/clinic must be a member of the Ontario Veterinary Medical Association. About 80 percent of veterinary clinics in Ontario are OVMA members. The Farley Foundation login for OVMA member veterinarians is on the OVMA website. There, you can learn more about accessing Farley Foundation funding, submitting applications, and more.
Join our clinic memorial program
Through the Farley Foundation Clinic Memorial Program, veterinarians and veterinary hospitals can make a donation in memory of patients who have passed away. A memorial letter or e-card is then sent to the pet’s family, acknowledging the gift and honouring their pet. This thoughtful gesture offers comfort to clients by ensuring their beloved pet’s memory lives on through the foundation’s work.
There are two options for honouring a client’s pet:
1. Mailed Memorial Letter: A printed letter is mailed to the pet’s family. View a sample memorial letter.
2. Memorial E-card: An e-card with a personalized message and memorial acknowledgement is emailed directly to the pet’s family. View a sample memorial e-card or send a Clinic Memorial Program e-card.
*Both options acknowledge the donation made in memory of the pet.
What’s the difference between a regular tribute e-card and a Clinic Memorial Program e-card?
Clinic Memorial Program e-cards are specifically tied to the memorial program and include memorial messaging and pet information. Regular tribute e-cards are generic, do not request pet or owner details, and do not generate a memorial letter. To ensure a memorial letter is generated and sent, please use a Clinic Memorial Program e-card.
Can we personalize the letter or e-card?
Yes. Your clinic’s name appears on the letter or e-card, and you can include a short personal message with each donation.
When are memorial letters sent?
Mailed letters are sent via Canada Post once your donation has been received. E-cards are emailed to the pet’s family immediately, as the donation is processed instantly online.
Are donations tax-deductible?
Yes. The Farley Foundation is a registered Canadian charity (88752 2316 RR 0001). A charitable tax receipt will be issued for all eligible donations.
Who can we contact if we have questions or need support?
If you have questions about the Clinic Memorial Program or need help submitting a donation, send us an email.
How to get involved
Harness the passion of your team and make a lasting impact in the lives of pets and their people across Ontario.
1. Brown Bag Sessions
Our virtual Brown Bag sessions help veterinary staff learn how to manage a Farley Foundation program at your clinic. Sessions cover a variety of information, including eligibility criteria, qualifying treatments, and how to apply. Brown Bag sessions are a great way for clinic staff to learn more about the foundation, and they provide an opportunity for staff to connect with our team and ask any questions they may have.
2. Capture Testimonials
Testimonials from pet owners who have received Farley Foundation funding help showcase the real-life impact of our work. These narratives help to foster a deeper understanding of our mission, and they also help spread awareness of the foundation, allowing us to help more pets and families. We share testimonials on our social media channels, in our donor communications and in our marketing materials. We need your help collecting pet owner testimonials.
3. Spread Awareness
Spread awareness about our cause by sharing our social media posts: we’re active on Facebook and Instagram. Or ask about our resources to help you talk to clients about Farley Foundation assistance and visual aids for your clinic to spread the word and make it easier for clients to approach you about funding.
