— how we support you —

four ways we show up.

GBF is a small, community-funded nonprofit. Our financial assistance grants are subject to available funds at the time of your application. We will always do our best for every family who reaches out.

Financial Assistance

If your dog has been diagnosed with cancer and you're facing costs you can't cover, GBF offers grants to help with treatment, surgery, medication, and specialist care. Grants are paid directly to your veterinary clinic.

Resource Referrals

Finding the right oncologist, a clinical trial that fits, or another funding source shouldn't feel like a full-time job. We've curated a library of trusted resources, national assistance programs, vetted oncologists, low-cost clinics.

Emotional Support

The fear, the waiting, the decisions that feel impossible. Cancer is one of the hardest things a dog family goes through. And it's okay to need more than just information. Here's how to find the people who understand.

End-of-Life Support

When treatment is no longer the path forward, there are still so many decisions to navigate, quality of life, comfort care, timing, grief. We have resources for that, too.

— the process —

how financial assistance works.

  1. Submit your application. Fill out our form completely. The more detail you give us, the faster we can review your case.
  2. We'll review within 5–7 business days. A member of the GBF team will review your application and may follow up with questions or request records from your vet.
  3. You'll hear from us. We will email you with a decision, and whether the answer is yes or no, we'll include a referral list of other programs that may be able to help.
  4. Grants go directly to your vet. If approved, GBF sends payment directly to your veterinary clinic. We never send funds to individuals.
Every dog deserves a fighting chance. And every family who loves a dog deserves support. That's why we're here, and why we'll keep fighting for both.
