educational purposes are coupled with a charitable component,
for charitable purposes, within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3)
of the Internal Revenue Code or the corresponding section of any
future federal tax code.
In furtherance
thereof, the Corporation is organized to provide educational
training (including without limitation classroom training,
personalized individual training and public access training)
to individuals and groups about
the benefits of having a service dog and the types of assistance
that service dogs may provide to persons with (a) health issues,
including without limitation, diabetes and other invisible
disabilities, and (b) disabilities that are included under the
Americans with Disabilities Act and related state and local
accessibility statutes, laws and regulations.
Further, the Corporation will assist such
persons by offsetting the costs for the purchase and training of
a service dog for individuals with health issues or disabilities
who apply to the Corporation for assistance and who would
benefit from having a canine companion in their lives to enhance
their quality of life and to remove barriers that prevent these
individuals from living their lives to the fullest extent
possible.
In furtherance of the foregoing, the
Corporation will participate in the breeding, placement and
training of service dogs for persons who have both visible and
invisible disabilities.
