Ways
to Make a Gift – A Guide for Donors
The Olympic Peninsula Humane Society
is a nonprofit animal welfare and protection agency. Being
a private, nonprofit organization, we are supported primarily through private donations and we receive payment from City and County governments for contracts to provide shelter for homeless, stray and displaced animals. Approximately 73 to 75% of all our operating costs are funded by concerned individuals, with contracted service revenue making up the other 25 to 27%. Your donations and gifts are critically important and enable us to continue our mission.
We are successful in our efforts each year to
save lives and ensure the future of thousands of pets in need, but
this work requires a major financial commitment. Charitable
donations are of great importance when it comes to funding our
operating needs.
Funds must come from charitable support from people
like you who truly care about animals. Please make
