Donate to assist the work of the veterinary profession
The AVA’s trusts and foundations support animal welfare research, veterinarians in need, public health education and companion animal health. Every contribution makes a difference.
Your donation supports animal health and welfare, the professionals who dedicate their lives to animals, and the communities they serve. To make a donation to any of our trusts or foundations, contact our Member Services team 8.30am – 5pm (AEST) weekdays.
AVA Benevolent Fund
The AVA Benevolent Fund exists to support veterinary professionals and their families who are facing financial hardship. Your donation helps ensure that those who dedicate their lives to animal health are not left without support in their time of need.
Animal Welfare Trust
Established by the veterinary profession to fund research and education that makes a genuine difference to animal welfare. Each year the Trust awards grants of up to $10,000 for one-year projects covering pets, livestock, wildlife and more.
Stephen Rose Foundation
Dedicated to improving public health through education and awareness of zoonotic diseases — infectious diseases that can pass from animals to humans. With 75% of new human diseases being zoonotic, this work sits at the intersection of animal and human health and has never been more important.
Australian Companion Animal Health Foundation
The ACAHF funds research into the health and wellbeing of companion animals, supporting studies that lead to better prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease in the dogs and cats that share our homes and communities.
Vets Beyond Borders
Vets Beyond Borders is an animal welfare charity which deploys experienced volunteer vets and vet nurses to animal welfare projects in desperate need of help to perform their wonderful, but all too often challenging, work.
