Donations Help Hearing Dogs in Training!
International Hearing Dog is fully funded by donation and depends on individuals, foundations, service organizations, corporations, clubs, church groups and others for funding. In addition to monetary donations, special fund-raising projects, such as IHDI's Ink Cartridge Recycling Program, Donate for a Cause, the Vehicle Donation Program and Dog Drives enable IHDI supporters to choose the best way for them to make their gifts. Donations of dog treats, dog toys,grooming supplies, dog crates, Nutro Max dog food,and office supplies are always needed and very much appreciated. With 30-40 hearing dogs to train and place each year at a cost of $7,000 each, the search for funding is endless.

Best In America certified by
Independent Charities of America
"The Independent Charities Seal of Excellence is awarded to the members of Independent Charities of America and Local Independent Charities of America that have, upon rigorous independent review, been able to certify, document, and demonstrate on an annual basis that they meet the highest standards of public accountability, program effectiveness, and cost effectiveness.
These standards include those required by the US Government for inclusion in the Combined Federal Campaign, probably the most exclusive fund drive in the world. Of the 1,000,000 charities operating in the United States today, it is estimated that fewer than 50,000, or 5 percent, meet or exceed these standards, and, of those, fewer than 2,000 have been awarded this Seal."
As an individual, your tax deductible cash donation in any amount will bring help and hope to those waiting for their own special pair of "ears." And a wonderful dog will be given a second chance as a helper and companion. Please help IHDI today by clicking on the "Make A Donation" button below and giving the gift of a hearing dog to someone in need!
