Please contact us to find out if you qualify. Deadline for the 2026/2027 grants are June 1st, 2026.
In the future we hope to host or work with other organizations to offer quality training. Central MN K-9 Foundation understands that to have great K-9 teams as an asset to your communities, they need to be properly trained.
One of the programs that Central MN K-9 Foundation is passionate about is our retired K-9 community. All of the burden of vet care is cast upon the handler when they retire. At Central MN K-9 Foundation, we work with the handlers and community they served to reduce the price of vet care.
Central MN K-9 Foundation has a yearly golf tournament that is usually held at the end of August. We also do other events such as raffles, fundraising. Donations from people like you also help us tremendously in meeting our goals. All proceeds go to active MN K-9 Units through the grants, training, or our retired government K-9 program for vet services.
Our goal is to maintain $50,000 each year for veterinarian support for our retired K-9 partners, and $20,000 each year for grant funding and other miscellaneous expenses. We currently have $20,000 available and are adding to it throughout the year by great supporters and donors like you!
