This grant program is directed towards NCVMA members who own a practice (hospital or mobile unit) affected by a natural disaster/catastrophic event. While these hospitals or mobile units are covered by insurance, we know that this insurance does not cover everything, and comes with a deductible to be paid. To alleviate some of the stress of recovery, NCVMA has developed this grant program to help pay the insurance deductible.
The applicant must be a current NCVMA member at least three weeks prior to the event and the owner or part-owner of the practice. Associate veterinarians may not apply. The grant must be used to cover the insurance deductible for repair of the practice building or mobile unit, or replacement of supplies, up to $5,000. Only one grant may be used per practice in a twelve-month span. A copy of the claim/explanation of payment and policy must be submitted along with the application. The application must be submitted within four months of the event.
Applicant should fill out the NCVMA Disaster Relief Grant Application, found in the member portal. Funds will be disbursed in a timely manner to help our members in their time of need.
