VSI: Veterinary Science Initiative was started with an idea for sharing veterinary science that spread with the determination of the education staff at Charleston Animal Society.
Initial funding was provided by the American Honda Foundation, which enabled the program development and execution for the first time in the community. Without this seed, we would not have grown the nationally recognized program that is VSI. It provided the stability and support we needed.

In 2013, we were able to get funding from the Elinor Patterson Baker Trust to spread VSI to other humane educators throughout the nation via a national conference at Charleston Animal Society. This funding helped train and supply humane educators with the tools they need to institute the program in their local area.
Other sponsors of our program have included the Yashik Foundation who have provided continuing support to us in the community for
many of our educational programs in the Charleston community.
