Orvis commits 5% of its pre-tax profits to protecting nature, advancing canine health and well-being, and supporting the communities in which they operate, and where associates live. These initiatives fund the Orvis grant program.
Since 2009, Orvis and their customers have raised more than $1 million to help fund canine cancer research. The Morris Animal Foundation, the global leader in supporting scientific research that advances veterinary medicine, has used this funding to advance early cancer-detection tests, to implement safer and more effective chemotherapy protocols, and to develop a tumor tissue bank for common canine cancers. To date, Morris has funded 200 canine cancer studies at 28 colleges and universities. The Canine Lifetime Health Project and the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study are among their current veterinary initiatives.
