  • 1.  Pet Insurance Companies

    Posted 12-08-2022 08:19 AM
    I'm a newly-elected volunteer President of a cat rescue NPO in TN.  I am a retired health care fund development professional and want to put my skill set to work increasing the charitable gift income of my organization.  I have noticed that almost all the big life insurance companies now seem to have a "pet insurance" division.  It seems to me that these companies should/could be interested in supporting rescue and shelter organizations especially if the funds donated went toward veterinary services.  My thinking is if we rescue/shelter organizations vet our rescues and thus provide a healthy pet to a new owner, then that could reduce the amount and frequency of claims to a pet insurer, thus helping them financially.
    Has anyone in this community group solicited or received donations/grants from pet insurers?   Thanks for your advice and counsel.!
