Veterinarians without Borders North America (VWB) is proud to be one of the founding member charities supported by Aeroplan's Member Donation Program.
Through this program, Aeroplan members can donate unused reward points to VWB. In keeping with their environmental program, Aeroplan has committed to fully offset carbon emissions from all flights taken using donated miles.
We rely on Aeroplan points to fly our volunteers, veterinarians, and staff to countries where we are working to further our mission to enhance veterinary care, bolster community disaster response and recovery, champion sustainable livelihoods, and improve the well-being of animals, humans, and ecosystems worldwide. By reducing our air travel expenses through points, we can fund more project work to help animals.
