Community Partnerships
Michiana Humane Society relies on private donations to care for nearly 1,000 pets a year! Local businesses play a strong role as partners to give second chances to homeless pets in our community.
How can you help?
Become an Event Sponsor
Events account for half of our fundraising budget each year and attract thousands of participants. Sponsor benefits may include recognition on our website, print materials like posters and banners, social media channels (41,000+ followers), or emails (7,000+ subscribers).
Visit our events page or email Development Director, Heidi Treacy Tuthill at Heidi@michianapets.org to learn about current sponsorship opportunities.
Matching Gifts
A pledge to match donations can motive others to give! Commit to match each gift made by your employees. Check out these resources to offer and match donations through payroll deduction: Benevity, YourCause, Others.
Engage the community by making a public match challenge on #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving that takes place on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving each year. Contact Development Director, Heidi Treacy Tuthill at Heidi@michianapets.org to learn more.
Give Back Promotion
Do what you do best! Designate a specific date or product for your customers to make a purchase with a portion of proceeds to be donated to the shelter. Depending on your giving history with Michiana Humane Society, we may promote your Give Back Promotion through our social media channels. Contact Development Director, Heidi Treacy Tuthill at Heidi@michianapets.org to arrange your Give Back.
Day of Giving
Would you like your employees to give back to the community through volunteer service? A group volunteer project can strengthen a team AND support shelter pets! Contact Volunteer Coordinator, Katelynn Bernth at Katelynn@michianapets.org to schedule a service day with your staff.
Donation Box
Display a Plexiglas donation box at your register to collect donations for the shelter. Contact Development Director, Heidi Treacy Tuthill at Heidi@michianapets.org to get your donation box.
