Founded in 2020, the Zoetis Foundation is a privately funded charitable organization supported exclusively by Zoetis, dedicated to creating opportunities for veterinarians and farmers around the world.

​​

Aligned with Zoetis’ purpose of nurturing our world and humankind by advancing animal care, Zoetis Inc. (“Zoetis”) committed an initial $35 million over five years to the Zoetis Foundation to support its three giving priorities – Education, Well-being, and Livelihoods.

​​

Across each of these focus areas, diversity, equity, and inclusion remain key priorities in the types of partnerships the Foundation engages in – enabling thriving and inclusive professions for veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and farmers globally.

​​

Initially, the Zoetis Foundation directed investments toward scholarships and diversity initiatives to help foster a more inclusive veterinary community in the U.S.​

 

Starting in 2022, the Foundation’s work expanded to support the development of the veterinary professional marketplace, diversity and inclusion programs, and mental well-being initiatives for farmers and veterinarians in the U.S., as well as supporting the livelihoods of producers and veterinarians in Africa, Australia, Brazil, China, and Europe.
