TAUBER FUND FOR ANIMALS (TFA)

As we approach the end of 2025 we want to remind all our partner hospitals that there are still Tauber funds available for use. Access to these funds is on a first come, first serve basis and is earmarked for higher-cost cases, with a maximum of $4,000/case and a hospital maximum of $10,000/year. The TFA match requirement is a minimum of 25%. Our case criteria are the same for all SFAfA cases. There must be a likely good prognosis, the client is facing extreme financial hardship, there is a possibility of euthanasia or surrender or there is a severe compromise of quality of life. If you have any questions about whether a case meets our criteria, please feel free to reach out anytime. Please check our website for the fund balance before offering a Tauber grant to a client.

Please watch for our Update Emails. We will continue to send one to two emails per quarter to all of our member hospitals and veterinarians, with reminders of your GIA balance, a link to the Tauber Fund and any new program information. If you have questions about your balance or you didn’t receive an email, please let us know. If you have any questions about our different grant programs, our guidelines, fund availability or a specific case eligibility, please reach out to us anytime.

MEET IRIS

“Iris” is a 6 year old torti who ingested a string foreign body. She was seen on emergency at our member hospital VEG in Larkspur in September. The cost to surgically remove the foreign body was more than her mom could afford.

But with the help of a grant from SFAfA, Iris was able to have a gastrotomy to remove the string, and she is back at home and doing well.

Thanks to everyone at VEG Larkspur for helping “Iris” and to all of you who support SFAfA, enabling us to do this important and life-saving work.
