Spay Virginia Initiative
SPAY VIRGINIA IS FOCUSED ON ENSURING ACCESSIBLE AND AFFORDABLE SPAY/NEUTER OPTIONS FOR VIRGINIA PET OWNERS AND ADVOCATES. IN THE LAST 5 YEARS SPAY VIRGINIA HAS DESSEMINATED OVER 100,000 IN GRANTS TO MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS FOR THE PROVISION OF SPAY/NEUTER OF OWNED PETS, RESCUE PETS AND COMMUNITY CATS THROUGHOUT THE STATE. THANKS TO THE SUPPORT OF OUR GENEROUS DONORS, WE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF AWARDING 65,000 TO 40 VFHS MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS IN 2024. THIS ONGOING INITIATIVE HAS MADE A POSITIVE IMPACT IN THE LIVES OF PETS AND CONTRIBUTED TO THE OVERALL WELL-BEING OF OUR COMMUNITIES.

CONFERENCE AND EDUCATION: EACH YEAR, VFHS PRESENTS A MULTI-DAY CONFERENCE FEATURING RENOWNED SPEAKERS WHO OFFER TRAINING ON LATEST PROGRESSIVE PRACTICES IN ANIMAL CARE, PROFESSIONAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT, FUNDRAISING, SPAY/NEUTER PROGRAMMING AND INCREASING LIFESAVING FOR SHELTERED ANIMALS. THE ANNUAL CONFERENCE IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT TO THE FEDERATION'S LIFESAVING GOAL, NOT ONLY FOR THE TRAINING IT OFFERS BUT ALSO BECAUSE MEMBERS ARE ABLE TO DEVELOP STRONG AND STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS WHICH SUPPORT THEIR INDIVIDUAL LIFESAVING EFFORTS. IN 2023, WE LAUNCHED OUR VFHS EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM WHICH OFFERS ONGOING TRAININGS ON A VARIETY OF TOPICS BASED ON INPUT FROM VFHS MEMBERS. THESE VIRTUAL TRAININGS ARE FREE TO ALL VFHS MEMBERS.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2024 – Dec 31, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$77.2KHigh Five Animal Transfer Initiative
