Ways to Donate

Here are some of the many ways to help support PAWS:

 

Donate to PAWS by honoring a family member, friend, or a furry miracle worker.

When you include their contact information with the gift, we will acknowledge the designated person or animal companion with a personal, hand-written card or an e-card if you prefer.

Become a Constant Companion of PAWS.

Constant Companions are very special donors who provide a recurring donation (usually monthly or quarterly) to support PAWS services. Like the volunteers who regularly walk dogs and deliver pet food to homebound clients, your reccurring gift allows PAWS to provide consistent care that improves both the health and well-being of our clients and their animal companions.

Donate your car.

Donate your used car or truck and turn an unwanted vehicle into a life-changing contribution. Call toll-free 866.273.5898 and say you want the proceeds to go to PAWS. 

Donate to PAWS through your company's Employee Giving program, including the United Way, the Certified Community Campaign or the Combined Federal Campaign. 

PAWS United Way agency number is 925895
PAWS Certified Community Campaign Agency number is 14440
PAWS Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) agency number is 73522

PAWS is also happy to send a speaker to your work place.  We can customize a presentation to help your coworkers learn more about PAWS and how their donations will make a direct impact on the animals and people we serve.

Make your gift go twice as far with Matching Gifts.

If your business offers a matching gift program you may easily budget for (and double!) your gifts to PAWS! Check with your HR representative.

Shop at PAWS.

Show your pride by sporting our popular PAWSwear.

Donate through a business that supports PAWS.

See the businesses that support PAWS in the Friends of PAWS section.

Donate pet food and supplies to the PAWS Food Bank.

See our Wish List.

Turn your next special occasion or house party into a PAWS Food Drive.

Instead of the same old host/hostess gift, encourage your guests to bring a donation of pet food or supplies for PAWS. We’ll be happy to provide you with a list of the items most in need, flyers about PAWS, and donation envelopes, too.

Consider becoming a PAWS Legacy Circle member.

Designate PAWS as one of your beneficiaries in your retirement plan, will or trust; or set up a Donor Advised Fund with a community foundation and designate PAWS as the beneficiary. 

PAWS is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization; Federal Tax ID# is 94-3049133.  All donations are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.
