Your tax-deductible donation of any size will help vision or hearing-impaired students by providing our visiting therapy animal dog teams with the necessary tools to promote learning. Thank you for considering helping our teams with the tools they need for regular therapy dog visits which ultimately promote a positive and enriching school experience for these children.

Additionally, if your employer has a matching gift program, please consider asking for a matching donation for DuPage Paws for People, a 501c3 public charity and 100% volunteer organization. Check with your human resource office for more information on a matching gift program.

How Donations are Used

Therapy dog Teagan poses in a blue bandana. The bandana spells out TEAGAN in ASL.

Your donations help us provide our therapy dog teams with the tools they need for these student visits. We provide our teams with things like T-shirts, custom 4’ leashes for the students to use, custom dog bandanas with their names spelled using American Sign Language, reading books about dogs and therapy animals, book bags, custom therapy dog trading cards, a subscription to a volunteer management system, and hopefully more tools to come, especially for our Braille reading friends.

If you have any questions, please contact us.

A Special Thank You

DuPage Paws for People would especially like to thank DePaul University’s IT-394 Fall 2024 semester class led by Michael Chase. For this class, the students working in teams must design and develop a website in a simulated working environment. We were fortunate enough to be chosen, making their work a real-life project. Thank you especially to our student team: Tyler Vergin, Audrey Elston, Aura Luna, Mohammad Rahman, and Tyler Liskiewicz. Paws Up for an outstanding website – thank you!
