Two Major Benefits of Becoming a CORE Member

Exclusive Podcast Series Access

We’ve launched an exciting podcast series on Substack as a unique perk exclusively for our Core Members! These episodes feature in-depth conversations with researchers and industry experts that show us possibilities found through their research and answers that give us hope.

Also featuring compelling stories from pet parents, nutritional and health conversations, and creative and fun things you can do with dogs. This series is designed to inspire, inform, and connect—and it’s only accessible to those who join our Core Member community.

Exclusive Chat Community

Our Chat Community allows CORE Members exclusive access to share stories and experiences. Are you navigating the heartbreak of losing a beloved dog to cancer? Or perhaps you have questions about cancer and are seeking clarity, understanding, or simply someone who will listen?

Maybe you’re just in need of a warm, supportive space where you can be heard and embraced. Wherever you find yourself, our new Substack Chat community is here for you. Your story matters. Your voice is welcome.

How CORE Members Make an Impact

Ensuring Reliability and Efficiency

CORE members are providing a framework for reliable monthly donations that significantly enhance the foundation’s ability to fulfill its mission.

Consistent Financial Support

CORE membership establishes a dependable stream of monthly contributions, reducing the unpredictability of one-time donations. This consistency ensures that the NCCF can plan its initiatives with greater confidence and precision, knowing the essential funding is secured.

Strategic Planning

Reliability in donations enables long-term strategic planning and resource allocation. Instead of reacting to fluctuating income levels, the foundation can proactively design more impactful research, awareness, and support programs for canine cancer.

Building Trust

Recurring donations from CORE members demonstrate unwavering commitment to the cause, solidifying NCCF’s credibility and encouraging other donors to contribute. It reassures beneficiaries and partners that the NCCF has the backing it needs to operate effectively.

Reduced Administrative Overhead

Dependable donations reduce the need for frequent fundraising campaigns or appeals, saving time and resources. Instead, the foundation can focus its energy on advancing research, supporting affected families, and raising awareness about canine cancer.

“This is near and dear to my heart. When I found NCCF, I didn’t feel so alone, I found a sense of camaraderie. My work schedule is so crazy I can’t volunteer, but I can donate to a mission I can get behind.”
