About San Francisco Aid for Animals (SFAfA) During the last financial downturn in 2008, Bay Area veterinarians and shelters were seeing a significant increase in the number of cases of euthanasia and surrender for pets with treatable medical conditions. Families could not afford life‑saving care for their beloved companions and were facing the devastating choice between huge financial debt or euthanasia or surrender. As this crisis grew, four Bay Area veterinarians were asked by the local shelters and the SF Veterinary Medical Association to start researching solutions. They found that very few programs existed across the US to address this issue and that there were none in the Bay Area. Starting from scratch, the idea of SFAfA was born. SFAfA partners with >20 Bay Area veterinary hospitals and together we provide grants for the treatment of urgently needed veterinary care to financially challenged families. Our goal is to prevent needless suffering, euthanasia, or surrender of a beloved family member.
About the Board SFAfA is run by an all‑volunteer group of 14 board members with backgrounds in veterinary medicine, technology, healthcare, and finance. Volunteers work on projects like finance, marketing, grants program management, events, donor management, and volunteer management. Typical involvement is ~5‑10 hours per month. Our Board meets virtually every month, with some in‑person fundraising and social events throughout the year.
