About American Boxer Charitable Foundation
American Boxer Charitable Foundation concentrates on research into health-related issues that affect the Boxer breed, with support aimed at studies and projects that can improve Boxer health. The foundation’s recent grant record shows a clear research partnership with the Akc Canine Health Foundation in Raleigh, North Carolina, including a large 2023 grant of $218,385 and follow-on awards in 2024 and 2025. That pattern fits its stated purpose of raising funds for Boxer-specific health concerns rather than general animal welfare. The work it supports includes conditions named in its program description such as heart disease, lymphoma, hypothyroidism, and other breed-specific issues. With annual grants of $293,728 and assets of $2,770,041, the foundation operates as a project-oriented funder focused on veterinary and canine health research. Its giving is tied to Boxer health improvement, with indirect beneficiaries including Boxer breeders and owners through the research it funds.
What American Boxer Charitable Foundation Funds
The foundation’s strongest thematic focus is Boxer disease research. Its program description explicitly names heart disease, lymphoma, hypothyroidism, and other breed-specific health concerns, and its recent awards to the Akc Canine Health Foundation in Raleigh support that research channel. Another core area is veterinary research more broadly, since the foundation says it funds studies and projects aimed at improving Boxer health. The taxonomy also points to disease etiology and pathogenesis in Boxers, showing interest in understanding why these conditions arise. Diagnostics and treatment development are also part of the stated scope, linking grantmaking to practical tools for canine clinicians and researchers working on Boxer conditions.
How American Boxer Charitable Foundation Gives
Grant size data point to a small set of sizable research awards: the p25 is $97,314, the median is $137,671, and the p75 is $178,028. The recent record also shows repeat support to the same research partner across 2023, 2024, and 2025, which indicates recurring grantmaking rather than one-off gifts. The foundation is not described as funding individuals or making program-related investments. Its program structure is grant-based and research-focused, and unsolicited applications are not accepted.
