Braddock Dogs has now collected $10,115.98 in donations! We will be submitting an application for the Mastenbrook Grant shortly, which will match up to $10,000 of our donations. Now that we have reached this milestone, we can request the full matching amount, but we'd like to raise an additional $5,000. Please help!

Donate to Support Braddock Dogs


Hello Braddock Dogs Supporters,

Thank you all for your tremendous support of Braddock Dogs and its efforts to establish an OLDA at Monticello Park. We accomplished a major milestone with the passage of the Bond referendum this November. This is a huge step in making the OLDA a reality and it could not have happened without your votes!

Our next goal is to raise the necessary funds to move forward with Park development. If we are able to obtain the required $15,000 in donations by March 31st, 2013, we can request bond funds for the development of Monticello Park as soon as July 2013. This gives us the best possible chance of having a usable OLDA as soon as possible.

Currently, we have obtained $5,430 worth of pledges. Those pledges need to be converted to donations and we need to increase our efforts to raise the additional funds to cover construction costs.

The Fairfax County Park Foundation (a 501c3 nonprofit, tax exempt organization) is managing the collection of funds. Charitable gifts donated to the Fairfax County Park Foundation are tax deductible. Donations made by December 31st, 2012 can be written off on your 2012 taxes. Make your donation while the charitable gift tax deduction still exists!
