Since 1933Donations to the SSCA
Mission
The mission of the Standard Schnauzer Club of America, Inc. is to protect and advance
the interests of our breed. We appreciate those who would like to help us in fulfilling
this mission by offering financial support for SSCA programs and activities. Many people
like to make a donation in memory of (or to honor) a specific individual or dog.
Currently we have several designated options. Health and rescue are 2 possibilities.
In addition, donations can always be made to the general fund to be utilized for educational
activities such as speakers for the educational program at the national specialty
or conducting health surveys.
Health
The American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation (AKC CHF) works to improve the health and
life quality of all dogs. They support research into a wide variety of health issues.
The SSCA has established a Donor Advised Fund (DAF) at the AKC Canine Health Foundation.
These funds are used to support research which will benefit our breed. The Foundation
provides matching funds when the club makes a withdrawal for a research project. Consequently
each $1 going into the DAF is worth $2 when paid out - an excellent return on your investment.
To make a donation to the go to the
Standard Schnauzer Donor Advised Fund on-line.

Rescue
Fortunately SSCA does not face a large number of Standard Schnauzers in need of rescue.
However, we want to be sure those dogs in need receive appropriate help. We try to
operate a nation-wide network to provide necessary assistance. When a dog is released
to SSCA rescue, it is evaluated, health issues addressed and placed in foster care
until an appropriate home can be found. The Rescue Chair maintains a list of individuals
wanting to adopt a Standard Schnauzer and attempts to match dogs with the families.
Costs to rehabilitate and place a dog varies from dog to dog.
Be sure to put Rescue on the memo line of your check. Include the name of the dog or person being honored as well as the name and address where the acknowledgment should be sent. Donations to support SSCA Rescue activities are not tax deductible.
Education
If you wish to support educational opportunities such as speakers for national
specialty seminars or developing health surveys, you may make a donation to the
SSCA General Funds. Send your check to the SSCA treasurer:
Please indicate Education on the memo line of your check. Include the name of the dog or person being honored as well as the name and address where the acknowledgment should be sent.
