Remember to start fundraising early and be enthusiastic about what you are doing and your supporters will be enthusiastic about it too! Every penny you raise will go directly to the hundreds of stray, homeless and abused animals we care for every day. We hope these tips will help you achieve your goals! Good Luck!

Email Your Supporters!

Take advantage of our free, online fundraising tool that allows you to customize your very own web page and send out e-mails to everyone you know asking for their support!

Send a Fundraising Letter!

Send a traditional letter to people you know telling them about the event and asking for their support and be sure to enclose a self-addressed stamp! For a sample of our fundraising letter, click here!

Matching Gifts!

Many employers offer matching gifts and this is an excellent way to double, sometimes triple your donation! And even if your company doesn't match gifts, be sure to solicit support anyway by asking your boss, company and fellow employees to sponsor you!

Involve Your Local Businesses!

Solicit support by asking local businesses that you frequent to sponsor you!

Host a bake sale, yard sale or other event.

Have a party and in lieu of gifts, ask everyone to sponsor you by making a small donation!

Get your kids and their classmates involved! Ask teachers to start pennies for pets fundraiser!

Be creative and don't forget to ask! People will donate, but you have to ask first!
