Events
Join us at fundraising events such as the Bark of the Bay, PetWalk or BrewFest! Each event also offers corporate sponsorship opportunities.
Third Party Event
A third-party fundraising event is any activity by a non-affiliated group or individual where the Bay Area Humane Society has no monetary responsibility and little or no staff involvement. There are too many ideas to list them here, but we’re happy to help you get started. If you have an idea or plan for an event that will benefit the Humane Society, please contact us for a contract and guidelines.
United Way / Combined Federal Campaigns
If you contribute through your workplace United Way or CFC program, you can designate all or part of your gift to any 501(c)(3) tax exempt agency of your choice, whether that agency is a participant or not. Simply designate "Bay Area Humane Society" FEIN 39-0988577
Planned Giving
For information on how to include Bay Area Humane Society in your will or estate plan, and what immediate benefits this can provide to the shelter, please contact: Stephen Heaven at (920) 469-3110 ext. 115.
Matching Gift Programs
Did you know that many employers sponsor matching gift programs that match employee charitable contributions? Most employers simply require you to initiate a paper or on-line form - ask at work! It's a great way to make your gifts go twice as far.
Wish List
Looking to get rid of some unwanted items? Organizing a group project around collecting donations? Check out our Wish List to see what the shelter currently needs. You can also help stock the shelter supply shelves anytime you are shopping at Festival Foods simply by picking up a "Paw Away Hunger" bag when you head to the check-out!
Although our Wish List does include the supplies needed every day at the shelter like food and cleaning, please remember that all cash donations truly benefit the animals as well. If you are thinking of donating and deciding whether to shop for supplies or simply write a check, please consider this: for an 8-pound bag of dry food at a local discount store costing $11.00 - that same $11.00 donated to BAHS helps us purchase over 30 pounds of the exact brand and style we need, when we need it, through our bulk purchasing program. We work very hard to make sure your gifts stretch as far as we can make them stretch!
Special Items We Need
Pictures can speak a 1,000 words. Unfortunately, our camera rarely speaks. We're seeking a high quality camera with a fast shutter speed. Animals don't pose long enough for our current camera to get a good shot, but this is often the first impression potential adopters have. We need to make sure it's a good one! We're hoping to acquire a Cannon T3.
Donate a Vehicle
The Bay Area Humane Society works with "Vehicles for Charity" to accept, process and sell donated vehicles. To donate a vehicle to the Bay Area Humane Society, call 866-628-2277.
For more information on any of these opportunities, please contact Jan Niec at 469-3110, Ext. 111 or admin@bayareahumanesociety.com.
