Closing out 2023 and Charging into 2024!
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I’d like to thank all of you for your past support of SAGE Compassion for Animals (SAGEC4A). As you know, we provide grants to allow companion animals in acute medical crises to get the veterinary care they need when their pet parents do not have sufficient financial means. This small act of generosity and kindness not only saves a life, but keeps families from suffering a loss and alleviates stress for veterinarians and their staff.
Our grant budget is determined by annual donations - 95% of each dollar we raise is re-gifted to help save a furry life - and we are excited to share that in 2024 we awarded life-saving grants to keep 131 pets with their families, totaling close to $400,000! We could not have done this without the support of people like you. Our grants ranged in amounts from $250 up to $5,000 per pet and have totaled just over $700,000 since we began in 2020. We partner with many different veterinary clinics in order to provide the highest level of care when needed - approximately $180,000 in discounts were given by our amazing veterinarian partners.
In 2024, we will be expanding our educational offerings and raising our visibility so that we can help more pets and their families stay healthy and together. Your support enables us to make that happen - It truly takes a village to do what we do - and we could not be more grateful! Thank you to all of our beautiful 2023 donors!
