Our Charity

Each year, Further Confusion selects a different local cause to rally behind. With the support and enthusiasm of our attendees, we spend the weekend fundraising for our chosen cause.

Over the years, we’ve really made a difference for a variety of causes: domestic and wild animal rescues, mental health organizations, service animal support groups, comic book and arcade game preservation. Our attendees and volunteers have gone all out to help those deserving organizations who really need a helping paw.

About The Street Dog Coalition

The Street Dog Coalition provides free veterinary care to pets of people experiencing homelessness. We care for both ends of the leash through equitable, compassionate and community-driven programs. Our vision is a world where everyone, regardless of their housing or financial situation, has access to affordable veterinary care. We envision a future where society recognizes the interconnection between people and their pets and the value to the human-animal bond.

The Street Dog Coalition runs four core programs in over 60 locations across the United States:

  1. Pop-up street clinics providing preventative veterinary care
  2. Spay/neuter vouchers
  3. Humane end of life care
  4. Additional veterinary care

All services are at no cost to our pet parent clients. The Street Dog Coalition values unconditional love, compassionate activism, unbridled collaboration and trust. All of our pets and their pet parents are part of the SDC family.

Qualifying organizations typically must have 501(c)(3) status. We like to make an impact in our local community, so we prefer causes close to home (Northern CA). If you aren't sure whether your nominee qualifies, send us their information anyway. We'll look into it and put their name in the pool. The final charity pick is made at the discretion of each year's convention chair and executive committee, with input welcome from the rest of the staff and the community. Let us know your ideas!
