Zero Cost to Clients. Ever.
It is fundamental to OFP that our programs are 100% free to our clients. Our nonprofit organization is run by staff who share our mission, many of whom were once clients themselves. Our collective goal is to remove financial barriers so each client can develop the skills needed to live their very best life possible.
Donate Online
By committing to a 48-week service dog training program and taking an active role in the training of their dog, OFP clients improve and change their own lives. The truly unique impact of the program is rooted in each client’s desire to take an active role in their own healing.

Recurring Gifts
When you commit to a consistent recurring donation schedule, this is considered a recurring gift. One benefit of recurring gifts is that they help give the nonprofit an expectation of consistent, predictable cash flow, enabling them to make forecasts into funding and scheduled payments throughout the year. Additionally, it might help you donate by spreading your contribution out over time rather than in one lump sum. For example, you might not be able to donate $300 all at once, but you may be able to budget an extra $25 a month as a recurring gift.
