NOW AVAILABLE Planned Giving to Your Local Animal Shelter
All Day Restaurant by Heather Schoeppach
Style Dining! The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals (ASPCA), the Humane Society of the United
States (HSUS), and the American Humane Association
(AHA) are all independent national organizations that are
not affiliated with each other, nor with the approximately
4,000 independent animal shelters in the United States.
Though these national organizations do offer grants to
animal welfare organizations, they do not provide regular
funding to local SPCAs and humane societies. There is
no federal or state funding provided for local animal
shelters, who mostly survive on donations and program
fees. If you care about helping your community's
homeless animals, your donations will be most effective if
you give directly to the local organization responsible for
sheltering services.
Planned giving is a meaningful way to carry forward your
compassion and concern for animals for years to come.
