VAF Endowment Performance Report: See The Impact of Your Investment

For five years, the DoveLewis community has come together to build the Velvet Assistance Fund Endowment, creating a lasting source of support for pets and families who need financial assistance during an emergency.

Now, we’re entering an important new chapter: the first year of drawing from the endowment to support the Velvet Assistance Fund.

Join DoveLewis for a special conversation about the performance and impact of the VAF Endowment. Heidi Goertzen, CFP of Becker Capital Management will share an overview of how the fund is performing in the current investment climate, provide insight into the endowment’s investments, and discuss how market conditions and shifts may shape its future.

Most importantly, we’ll explore what this milestone means for the pets and families who will benefit from the funds being drawn from the endowment. Together, we’ll look at how five years of philanthropic support is translating into meaningful, ongoing impact for our community.

The program will conclude with a dedicated Q&A, offering an opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the endowment and its role in sustaining the Velvet Assistance Fund for years to come.

About the Velvet Assistance Fund

The donor-funded Velvet Assistance Fund helps qualifying low-income families relieve the cost of emergency veterinary care so they can focus on the health and well-being of their pets. 

At DoveLewis, we believe every animal deserves access to compassionate, high-quality care. The VAF Endowment is helping create a more stable and sustainable source of support so that more pets and the people who love them can receive care when they need it most.
