The PPCP program will help National Parent Breed Clubs earn important funds for canine health studies, education efforts and/or rescue through the participation of its members in Purina® Pro Club®

The PPCP Program works through Purina’s loyalty program, Pro Club®

Pro Club® members, who are also members of the National Parent Breed Club or an affiliate club, earn valuable Purina Points for every purchased pound of participating Purina® brand dog foods. When the club’s Pro Club® members participate in the PPCP Program, they can earn an additional 10% of the value of all points from valid weight circles credited to their Pro Club accounts.

·         For example, for every $100 worth of qualifying weight circle points earned by your Pro Club members, Purina will donate $10 to your National Parent Breed Club

How do funds get donated?

Purina will deposit a minimum of 50% of the funds accrued by your breed club through the PPCP Program directly into the breed’s CHF Donor Advised Fund (100% of the funds accrued can be donated to the CHF Donor Advised Fund if the National Parent Breed Club chooses that allocation). The check for each year will be presented to the Canine Health Foundation in February of the following year.

• The remaining 50% can be used by the National Parent Breed Club for rescue and/or education programs
  
• The Canine Health Foundation has agreed that PPCP Program – generated funds that are placed in the breeds’ CHF Donor Advised Fund are eligible to be matched up to 100% based on the Foundation’s guidelines

What is required of the National Parent Breed Club?

An agreement, signed by the president of the national parent breed club, indicating participation in this program.  Once the agreement is signed and returned to us, the membership will be allowed to earn funds. The agreement covers 2004 through 2006. The points for each year will cover the period starting Jan 1^st of each year through December 31^st of that same year.

Create awareness of the PPCP program among your club members. There are camera-ready ad slicks available to the National clubs to help create awareness of the program.

Periodic reports will be provided to the participating National Clubs notifying them of the total funds being accumulated by their members. Checks will be issued to the participating clubs and to the Canine Health Foundation in February 2005 for the 2004 period, February 2006 for the 2005 period and February 2007 for the 2006 period.
