Inspired by the groundbreaking work of the Dog Aging Project and the power of the human-companion dog bond, the The Dog Aging Institute,a 501(c)(3), was founded to support canine health and aging research initiatives that enhance the lives and well-being of our canine companions.

Whether you start a team and raise money, donate, or help spread the word, you will be supporting this important field of canine research that will benefit future generations of dogs with longer, healthier lives. Having dogs in our lives longer is a win for all of us!

Help kickoff the work of The Institute!

Join the Kickoff for Canines Fundraising Campaign and help raise money to fund research for our canine companions to live longer, healthier lives!

Businesses, organizations, clubs, groups, and individuals can set up a team (or join an existing team) and help raise money to benefit future generations of dogs!

Once you set up your team, share your fundraiser with friends and family and encourage them to donate to this great cause.
You can also donate to a team or a team member so they get credit for helping out the Dog Aging Institute.
Because the Institute is a 501(c)(3), donors will receive a tax receipt.
The campaign will run until the end of the year with fun contests and prizes along the way.
Funds raised will support companion canine initiatives, like the Dog Aging Project.

Don’t wait – set up your team and start today!
