The Foundation for Animal Care & Education (FACE) is a San Diego–based nonprofit organization that provides financial grants to help pets receive critical and lifesaving veterinary care when owners cannot fully cover treatment costs. Established in 2006, the 501(c)(3) charity relies on donations from animal lovers and the support of a network of more than 200 veterinary partners to prevent economic euthanasia, where pets would otherwise be euthanized due to financial hardship. FACE’s work centers on supporting families facing difficult, time-sensitive medical decisions for their pets, aiming to keep them with their owners when treatment is financially out of reach. Operating within the nonprofit sector, FACE positions itself as a facilitator of access to veterinary care rather than a provider of medical services. Its reach extends through financial grants and partnerships that enable continued pet care, reflecting a mission to ensure that financial constraints do not determine a pet’s fate. The organization is based in San Diego, California, and maintains a regional focus on helping pets and families in need through community support and collaboration with veterinary professionals.
