Cost of training can vary dramatically since it is determined by the age, type of disability and support systems of the client. Clients, on average, are in the program between nine and twelve months before they are fully trained to be certified as a service canine team. . GCP clients are billed on a sliding fee schedule for each package. Our real cost for a seven-week training package is $250.00 if we can train in a group and $300 if the situation requires a single individual or family class. Depending on the team's abilities and needs, the cost of training is approximately $5,000.00 for group participation and $8,000.00 for individual classes for each "human-canine team".
Every cent counts...What your dollars can do
Cash – Cash gifts are an easy way to give. Cash gifts of any size can have an immediate impact. $25 will help buy dog food for one month; $50 will help pay for annual veterinary check-ups; $100 covers spay or neuter costs; $250 provides over fourteen hours of training and $500 will help when purchasing a dog for service work. Any amount is always appreciated.
Securities – Gifts of stock, bonds, treasuries, and mutual funds that have increased in value are a win-win opportunity for you and GCP under current tax laws.
Retirement plan assets – One frequently overlooked way you can make a charitable contribution is by using your IRA, qualified retirement plan assets, or commercial annuities. IRA gifts can be accomplished simply and without tax complications. Plus, you can make the gift now-while you are living and able to witness the benefits of your generosity!
Bequests – Remember Gateway To Canine Partnerships in your will.
Life insurance – Do you have a life insurance policy that you no longer need? Giving it to GCP can be a way to combine charitable objectives with tax advantages for you.
