How You Can Help

Traditionally, the Golden Retriever Foundation has received its support from the membership of the Golden Retriever Club of America. But there are many Golden owners who do not belong to the GRCA, but are solid supporters of Golden causes. We need the support of everyone!

If you've ever cuddled a Golden puppy, shared your thoughts with a Golden listener, taken a walk with a Golden pal, shared your life with a lovely old white-face - YOU should be a GRF supporter! Your life has been enriched by the presence of a wonderful dog in whose honor or in whose memory, we ask that you contribute to the Golden Retriever Foundation.

If you can't attend the Art Auctions at the GRCA Specialty Show,
YOU CAN DO one of the following:

  1. Make a donation to one of the GRF's four special funds in honor of a special dog, person or accomplishment;
  2. Send in a donation when you renew your GRCA dues, if you are a member;
  3. Send in a donation of $25 or more to the Golden Retriever Memorial Garden and enclose a photo of a Golden you have lost  (See Donations for instructions).
  4. Send in memorial gifts in remembrance of other Goldens or individuals to whom you wish to pay tribute.
  5. As a breeder, consider a tithing of a certain amount per puppy sold, per stud fee, per show or performance test win;
  6. Buy a GRF Christmas Ornament;
  7. Deny yourself one little luxury a week - that extra cup of coffee or chocolate bar, put that money in a jar, and mail it in once a month! It can be your own special "cookie jar" which earns you a "good job" pat on the head every time you send in your check!
  8. Tell your friends about the GRF and urge them to visit our website;
  9. Look to the future and make a bequest to the Foundation. Write for our brochure, "Do You have the WILL to make a difference." (See Wills/Bequests)
