Whether you’ve opened your heart to an adopted pet, fostered a litter of tiny kittens, volunteered your time, or supported our veterinary clinic, one thing is certain: you’re the heart of the Humane Society of Sonoma County (HSSC).
Your kindness gives our shelter animals a safe place to rest, medical care to heal, and the love they need while waiting for their forever families. This month, we’re excited to introduce new ways to support our animals that give back to you, too!
Through new tax-savvy giving, you can make an even bigger impact for the animals at HSSC beyond traditional cash donations.
These include:
-
🐶 Appreciated Stocks: Avoid capital gains tax and can qualify you for a full income tax deduction, turning the full value of your investment into full bellies and wagging tails!
-
🐱IRA Giving (Age 70½+): Give directly from your IRA to reduce your taxable income and meet an RMD (if 73+), putting your retirement funds to work saving local animals' lives.
-
🐾Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs): If you have a charitable fund set aside, our new integration makes it seamless to direct a grant to HSSC to provide immediate shelter and love to a pet in need.
-
🐰Crypto Donations: We can now accept digital currency! You can turn crypto into real-world kibble, cozy beds, and lifesaving medical treatment.
