What makes Custom Canines extraordinary isn’t only the service dogs... it’s their approach. Each dog is trained for nearly two years, paired intentionally with a veteran, and supported throughout a lifelong partnership. We’re honored that Impact’s support plays a role in those transformations. Every contribution helps a dog progress through its training journey and ensures a veteran receives hands-on guidance, education, and a support system that stays with them for life. Every dog has a story. Every veteran has a journey. Custom Canines brings them together at the moment they need it most.

Cybersecurity is not an IT issue, it's a boardroom priority. When an attack happens more than just your data and money is on the line, so is trust.

It can look like: ✅ Allocating resources for tech, people, and training ✅ Enforcing policies organization-wide ✅ Fostering a culture where security is everyone’s job ✅ Aligning cybersecurity with your business goals Learn more at https://hubs.ly/Q03Thwkg0
