WAYS TO GIVE

In Loving Memory Of

A donation given “In Loving Memory of” is a meaningful way to express your sentiments about a family member, friend, co-worker or beloved pet.

With the passing of a loved one, there is also the option to provide family and friends the opportunity to make a donation to Pets Helping People.

At such a difficult time, we would like to offer help by providing this suggested addition to the obituary:

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Pets Helping People, a pet therapy organization.

A notification of your memorial will be sent to the person you designate.

In Honor Of

A donation given “In Honor of” is a wonderful way to recognize special:

• People – relatives, friends, teachers, neighbors, caregivers
• Events – birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, graduations
• Milestones – a new baby, a new house, a new job
• Sentiments – thank you, get well soon, thinking of you
• Pets – a therapy animal or a beloved pet

A notification of your gift will be sent to the person you designate. The donation amount will not be specified.

Workplace Giving Campaigns

Workplace giving is an easy and efficient way to make tax-deductible donations to charities through payroll contributions. These programs offer the convenience of automatic payroll deductions without losing the tax benefits of charitable giving.

Employer Matching Gift Programs

Many companies set aside funds for philanthropic purposes and allocate these monies through employer gift matching programs. They allow employees (and often spouses, retirees, and directors) to make a contribution to a non-profit which is then matched by a corporate gift.

Many companies also encourage their employees to volunteer their time to non-profits in their communities and match those efforts with dollars and other means of support to the non-profit.

Although procedures vary, matching gift forms are usually obtained through the employer’s corporate internet site or human resources office.
