None of these would have been possible without the continuous support from the venues that have hosted our events: Fernwood Gallery & Lisa Doyle-Bates, South Shore Natural Science Center, New England Wildlife Center, and Derby Street Shoppes, plus the support of the over 2 dozen NEAFA artists who donate a portion of what artwork they sell to NEAFA, the foundations and businesses who have supported us and the support of all of you who believe in giving back by helping the animals and their people, through your support of the arts!
NEAFA is a synergistic group of people who help fund therapy, companion, and service animals (both domestic and wildlife), the people who need them, and the programs that train, place, and support them.
A person can support NEAFA by…
purchasing our new 2012 thirteen month calendar!
- donating time or money or both
- become a member of NEAFA
- purchasing the work of our member artists who donate a portion of their proceeds to NEAFA.
The NEAFA Foundation makes grants to organizations that train and support animals for therapeutic and companion situations.
You will see your donations at work!
Some of the groups we support:
- NEADS/Canines For Combat Veterans, Princeton, MA
- New England Wildlife Center, South Weymouth, MA
- Booth Hill Farm, Scituate, MA
- And many more to come!

Take the next steps in this journey together with us, now, and share in our passion of making a difference in the lives of people and the animals which can help them. The benefits to the people who help us are nearly as great as those brought by the animals you help support. Thank you from the very bottom of our hearts!
