Who We Are

In late 1998, the Flat-Coated Retriever Society of America, Inc.(FCRSA) authorized the creation of a tax exempt non-profit organization to benefit the health and welfare of the breed. This organization is The Flat-Coated Retriever Foundation. While the Foundation is empowered to take on a variety of activities to benefit Flat-Coated Retrievers, its primary responsibilities are in the area of health and rescue. The Foundation will work with the existing FCRSA Cancer Resource Committee, Sharon Myers Health Committee and Rescue Committee to help further their efforts.

At the same time as the authorization of the Foundation, the FCRSA Board of Directors also voted that the balance in the Rescue Fund, Cancer Fund, and Sharon Myers Fund be transferred over to the Foundation. These three funds were transferred intact and will be maintained as separate funds until they are depleted. The Society will no longer maintain these fundraising accounts.
