Many of the families we speak to are often looking for autism service dog grants and other ways to help pay for their service dog.
Over the years, we have compiled this list of service dog funding resources. Some organizations or groups have service dog grants available – we hope you will find it helpful.
This list is being constantly updated, so if you see where we’ve missed a group, program, or idea, please let us know!

This list is not comprehensive, and we are not endorsing any specific organizations or programs. Different fundraising methods will work better for different families, but these are just suggestions for service dog funding that our families have sent to us. Hopefully this will give you some ideas to get started.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need any further guidance on service dog grants or fundraising ideas!
