Support the BreedWhy It Matters
Every contribution protects the Irish Wolfhound’s future.
IWANE is a non-profit organization run entirely by volunteers who share a deep devotion to one of the world’s most remarkable breeds. The work we do — in health research, education, rescue, and breed stewardship — depends on the generosity of our members and friends of the breed.
Whether you choose to support health testing, rescue efforts, or breed education, your donation goes directly to the causes that matter most to the Irish Wolfhound community in New England.
Where It Goes

Health
Breed Health & Research
Support the IWF Lifelong Heart Study and health testing initiatives at our annual specialty. Irish Wolfhounds face specific health challenges — your contribution funds the research that protects future generations of the breed.
- IWF Lifelong Heart Study
- Health testing at the annual specialty
- OFA and genetic testing support
Education
Education & Outreach
Help fund educational programs, printed materials, and public outreach events like ‘Meet The Breeds.’ Educating new and prospective owners is one of the most important things we do for the long-term health of the breed.
- Educational seminars and workshops
- Printed breed materials
- Public outreach and cultural events
Rescue
Rescue & Rehoming
Every rescued Irish Wolfhound requires veterinary evaluation, fostering, and careful placement. Your donation to the rescue fund ensures no hound in our region goes without the care and safe home they deserve.
- Veterinary evaluations prior to placement
- Foster network support
- Rescue coordination with IWCA
Legacy Giving
Sarah Hicks Trust
IWANE receives an annual disbursement from the Sarah Hicks Trust, designated for Health, Education, and Rescue. At year’s end, the membership votes on where any remaining balance is directed — always in service of the breed’s most pressing needs.
The Treasurer tracks all trust funds to ensure proper allocation, and any expenditure must align with the trust’s mission to benefit the Irish Wolfhound.
