We impact the lives of more than 3,000 animals each year. As a nonprofit, we rely on private donations to provide these helpless, homeless animals with their second chance.
Your monetary donation not only helps with the daily care of homeless pets but also funds many educational and life saving programs offered by the Humane Society of St. Joseph County. By donating, you are providing adequate veterinary care to shelter pets, supporting our Pet Safe program, providing enrichment and behavior modification training for cast-off pets and furthering our mission to enhance the human-animal bond through the compassionate care of animals and community education.

ENDOWMENT FUND DONATIONS
The Humane Society recently established an endowed fund with the Community Foundation of St. Joseph County: The Humane Society of St. Joseph County Fund. Gifts to this fund are permanently invested to generate much-needed annual support for The Humane Society, year after year. As the fund grows, so will the earnings The Humane Society receives to carry out the important work we do, both now and in the future.
You can make a gift to this permanent endowed fund in either of two ways:
1) You may make your gift directly to The Humane Society. To be sure that your gift is placed in The Humane Society of St. Joseph County Fund, please indicate this on the check’s memo line or in an enclosed note.
2) You may make your gift by check or appreciated securities directly to the Community Foundation of St. Joseph County. Simply indicate that The Humane Society of St. Joseph County Fund is the intended beneficiary of your gift. The Community Foundation also accepts credit card gifts online at www.cfsjc.org; choose The Humane Society of St. Joseph County Fund from the drop-down menu under “A Favorite Charity’s Endowed Fund.”
You can also make a gift to The Humane Society of St. Joseph County Fund through your IRA, your will, a trust, or other options, such as appreciated securities. Whatever route you choose, your gift will continue to grow and benefit The Humane Society and our community forever. Please consider talking to your professional advisor about how to include The Humane Society in your will.
