The Dave & Cheryl Duffield Foundation carries forward the Duffield family's legacy of supporting transformational programs and services in three core areas: pairing Veterans with Service Dogs, expanding access to care for companion animals, and strengthening local public service organizations. Founded in 2016, the Foundation is the flagship organization of the Duffield family of foundations, which also includes Maddie’s Fund—a national leader in advancing the well-being of companion animals—and Liberty Dogs, a new Service Dog training facility dedicated to providing life-changing support for Military Veterans living with PTSD.
Big Bet for Pets is the Dave & Cheryl Duffield Foundation’s five-year, $250 million investment in expanding access to veterinary care for family pets. Through targeted grantmaking, Big Bet for Pets aims to grow and scale the capacity of nonprofit community-based veterinary services; expand veterinary service options in rural communities; and fuel innovative research and programs that break down barriers to access. The ultimate goal of the Big Bet for Pets is a future where all family pets have access to the veterinary care they need to live happy, healthy lives.
