help with expenses....

How SCARF can help you with the expenses of participating in one of our sponsored research studies.

MAILING COSTS*

To supply either a blood or tissue (tumor) sample for Foundation funded research, the owner may choose either method below:

• SCARF will provide a tax credit letter to the donor as a deduction for their taxes for the expense of the sample mailing.
• SCARF will provide reimbursement of the costs for mailing the sample to Foundation funded research institution ($50 cap).

COST OF MEDICAL PROCEDURES*

To supply either a blood or tissue (tumor) sample for Foundation funded research, the owner may choose either method below:

• SCARF will provide a tax credit letter to the donor for the full expense of the medical procedure as a deduction for their taxes.
• SCARF will reimburse the owner for providing a sample for Foundation funded research ($100 cap).

ASSISTANCE TO LOCAL REGIONAL CLUBS/SPECIALTIES FOR COLLECTION EVENTS*

Should clubs wish to run a collection event to assist their members in participating in SCARF sponsored research, the Foundation will provide reimbursement for:

• Cost of a medical tech ($200 cap)
• All sample shipping costs if a grant has no money available for that expense.
• Cost of a medical procedure for each Samoyed involved - example: venapuncture for a blood sample draw
• A minimum of 5 dogs must be collected.

Note: A separate collection event run by a local club and sponsored by SCARF is covered by SCARF insurance.

*For all of the above, receipts must be provided to the SCARF treasurer.  Mr. James Cheskawich, Treasurer
