Our Foundation

The Board of Directors of the AWPGA is pleased to announce the formation of the
American Wirehaired Pointing Griffon Foundation

As our Club has grown and evolved, the Board has recognized that it is time to put in place a mechanism by which our members can make tax deductible contributions to the Griff causes we all hold dear. Through the Foundation we will be able to fund our rescue program, health and genetics initiatives, including the database, and educational outreach efforts.

American Wirehaired Pointing Griffon Foundation

OUR MISSION:
The AWPGF is dedicated to the American Wirehaired Pointing Griffon. Through our foundation we fund our Breed Rescue, Health and Genetics initiatives, our Breed Health Database and educational Scholarships.

The American Wirehaired Pointing Griffon Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization to which donations are generally tax deductible. The following, from the Foundation’s articles of incorporation, describes its purposes:
