Support Our Mission
Help professionals and communities detect disease earlier, make better care decisions, and expand access to reliable diagnostics and education.
Why Support the Foundation
The Aesculapius Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit advancing One Health education, veterinary diagnostic literacy, infectious disease preparedness, independent validation, and access-focused support for underserved or cost-sensitive care settings.
Support helps fund practical educational resources, independent validation and product evaluation studies, disease preparedness initiatives, and access programs for veterinary practices, farms, shelters, students, caregivers, animal owners, and communities.
Donors and partners can help close a real gap: professionals and care communities need trustworthy, independent information about diagnostics, surveillance, workflow, cost, and clinical value before decisions are made.
Support may help fund learning resources, webinars, toolkits, micro-credentials, and decision-support guides that make diagnostic knowledge easier to understand and apply.
Support may help develop One Health education, zoonotic disease awareness resources, early detection training, infectious disease response simulations, and community-based preparedness programs.
Support may help make non-commercial diagnostic validation and product evaluation data available to veterinary practices, educators, shelters, farms, and underserved care settings without charge.
Support may help expand diagnostic education, equipment access, implementation guidance, and cost-sensitive care initiatives for shelters, high-volume low-cost clinics, rural practices, mobile services, farms, and animal owners.
