Practical Answers. Plain Language.

Sharing our posts helps more than you know. And if you know anyone connected to shelters, vets, or animal welfare work, those introductions matter a lot right now.

A lot of partial solutions existed — but nothing designed to connect the whole system. That gap is exactly what we're trying to close.

The software is built and functional. What we're funding now is pilot deployment — getting it into real shelters and clinics so we can prove impact at scale.

We're starting with pilot partners here, but everything is designed to scale anywhere it's needed.

Yes. The PROVENIQ Foundation has received its 501(c)(3) determination from the IRS, so donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Most tools solve one piece of the problem. PROVENIQ is designed to connect all the pieces — pets, shelters, vets, records, and response — in one coordinated system.

No. The Foundation's role is technology, education, and accountability — not political advocacy or campaigns.

The PROVENIQ Foundation is a West Virginia nonprofit corporation organized exclusively for charitable, educational, and scientific purposes. We have received our 501(c)(3) determination from the IRS. Our mission is to advance public understanding of verification systems and support charitable activities that reduce information asymmetry.

Yes. The PROVENIQ Foundation is incorporated as a West Virginia nonprofit corporation and has received its 501(c)(3) tax-exempt determination from the IRS.

The Foundation's principal office is located in Greenbrier County, West Virginia. We may have additional offices as needed to support our programs.

The Foundation's bylaws provide for a Board of Directors of three to nine members serving three-year terms, responsible for strategic oversight and compliance with our charitable mission and legal obligations.

No. The Foundation is a non-membership corporation. All governance decisions are made by the Board of Directors.

The Foundation accepts gifts, grants, and contributions to support its charitable programs. We also maintain proper financial records and conduct annual reviews as required by law.

The Foundation is an independent nonprofit entity. While we may utilize technology developed by PROVENIQ Technologies to further our charitable mission, we operate under separate governance and maintain strict independence in program decisions.

The Foundation has built integrated programs including the PROVENIQ System (ShelterOS, VetOS, LifeLog, and MAYDAY), Homeward Bound (reunification program), and Fix It Forward (prevention program). They are built and ready to launch as funding allows, and all are designed to work together as a coordinated system.

Eligible organizations can apply to become program partners. We prioritize partnerships that demonstrate clear need, capacity for implementation, and alignment with our mission of systemic improvement.

When programs operate, all data will be handled according to our privacy policy and applicable law, and used for operational purposes, impact measurement, and research to improve animal welfare outcomes.

Once programs are operating, we will track specific, verifiable metrics — reunification rates, prevention outcomes, and system adoption — and report them conservatively and transparently. As of now, programs have not launched, so there are no verified outcomes to report yet.

One Health is a globally recognized framework — endorsed by the WHO, CDC, and USDA — that recognizes human health, animal health, and environmental health are deeply interconnected. PROVENIQ operates under this framework because the infrastructure we build to protect animals also generates data and capacity that protects people and communities.

Research consistently shows that animal welfare conditions are sentinel indicators for broader community health. Animal hoarding correlates with mental health crises. Animal neglect is a predictor for household poverty and domestic violence. Stray surges signal neighborhood instability. Low vaccination compliance increases zoonotic disease risk. Our infrastructure captures these signals.

Absolutely. Animal welfare is our mission — it's in our 1023 application, our bylaws, and every program we run. One Health simply recognizes that this mission also protects human health and community wellbeing. We didn't change what we do; we recognized the full scope of what animal welfare infrastructure accomplishes.

Programs and supporting documentation may be reviewed and updated periodically. Official Rules and disclosures are published on this site.

The Foundation site links to canonical Official Rules, disclosures, and legal terms. If you are participating in a program, review the Official Rules before taking any action.

The Foundation's bylaws are publicly available on our website. Financial information and annual reports are available upon request as required by law.

Upon dissolution, all Foundation assets will be distributed exclusively to other 501(c)(3) organizations for charitable purposes, as required by law and our Articles of Incorporation.
