States (HSUS) or any other national group?

County community. We are not a chapter of the HSUS, and we do
not receive support from this or any other national organization.

Do my taxes or United Way donations help pay for
your services?

No. We do not receive any tax or United Way support. Our
programs are supported by donations, grants and fees.

When I make a donation, where does my money go?

It stays locally! Donations help us provide programs and services
to our community. We’re not part of any national organization, and
we are not a government agency, so all funds received are
appreciated.

Do you sell my personal information?

Never! Your personal information is not sold or exchanged with any
other organization. We maintain standard physical, electronic and
procedural safeguards that protect the confidentiality and security
of non-public personal information.

Can I make a donation in honor of or in memory of a
person or animal?

Yes. This is a great way to honor a special person or animal in your
life. For example, we often receive donations in honor of a person’s
birthday or wedding—just to name a few. Please inform us of the
person or pet to be remembered or honored, including their
address, and we’ll let them know of your special gift.

How will I know you have received my donation?

We will provide a thank you note acknowledging your support
shortly after we receive your donation. This correspondence may
be used for your tax records

Can I donate at my place of business or through
payroll deduction?

Most workplace campaigns or organized fundraising campaigns
allow you to select the nonprofit organization of your choice.
Please check with your human resources department or campaign
coordinator.

How can I make my donation go farther?

One way to stretch your support is through matching gifts from
your employer. With every donation you make, you should check
with your employer to see if your company can match your gift.
Some companies will match you dollar for dollar and others even
provide a 2:1 match!

Can I make a donation using a credit card?

Yes. We currently use PayPal to accept MasterCard, Visa, Discover
or American Express.
