ways to give

We could not have the impact we have without community donations & sponsorships. We sincerely thank you!

There are a variety of impactful ways to support our rescue efforts, from donating money or purchasing supplies to honoring a loved one through a memorial fundraiser. We want to help find the type of gift that fits you best.

Direct Donations

Single or recurring monthly donations can be made online via our Donate page or through Venmo, PayPal or GoFundMe.

We also accept checks sent to: 7500 18th Street, Rio Linda, CA 95673

Employee Giving

Donations go even further when employers match your charitable contributions. Work with your employer and contact us if you need any support.

Payroll giving allows employees to donate automatically from their after-tax earnings. State of California employees can set up recurring payroll deductions through Our Promise campaign.

Personal Fundraising

Another way to extend your impact is to create a personal fundraiser in GoFundMe. Celebrate occasions such as birthdays, weddings, graduations, and more. You can also set up a memorial fundraiser to honor a loved one!

If you have an idea for a personal fundraiser outside of GoFundMe, contact us so that we can work together!

Fundraising Events

We have fundraising events throughout the year, including our our annual gala in spring. Some adoption events held at restaurants and breweries are also fundraising events where we receive a percentage of proceeds.

You can find scheduled fundraising events by filtering our events list.

Shop our Wishlists

We greatly appreciate in-kind donations of supplies.

Navigate to the Shop our Wishlists page for links to our Amazon and Chewy wishlists as well as information about our ability to accept items outside of our lists.

Shop for a Cause

Support us when you shop for yourself as well! Check out our merch — we receive proceeds and you become our (unpaid but greatly appreciated) brand model!

We also partner with a variety of brands and shops to receive sale proceeds. Visit the Shop for a Cause page for clickable links!

Help Us Build an Adoption Center

We are starting to plan a capital campaign to build our very own adoption center! Be an “early adopter” of said Adoption Center by donating Home Depot gift cards to improve the space we are developing! Gift cards can be sent to sayhi@fostersandpaws.org or mailed to 7500 18th Street, Rio Linda, CA 95673

Other Individual Giving

The following are additional ways for an individual to give:

  • plan your legacy by naming us in your will or trust

  • donate appreciated stock, bonds or mutual funds
