Different
Ways To Help Our Animals!
Thank
You for Caring!
When
you give to the P.E. I. Humane Society
you are making a commitment to helping companion animals across Prince
Edward Island. You enable us to protect our animal friends and help
support our life-saving work in communities spanning the Island.
The
animals we shelter need our help and we need yours. Whether you are giving
for your first time or are a life-long supporter—we thank you from our
hearts! We hope you will continue to help the P.E.I. Humane Society in its
efforts to rescue and shelter the animals that need us!
There
are many ways to give to The P.E.I. Humane Society. Each will provide
support for the mission of the Society and will make a difference in the
life of an animal. In addition, your gifts may be tailored to reflect your
area(s) of interest.

Workplace
Giving
Many government and
corporate employees have the option to designate funds to a charity of
choice through payroll deduction. Check with your human resource
department to see if this is an option for you.
Direct
Your United Way Donations to the Animals
Directing
your United Way gift or payroll deduction to the P.E.I. Humane Society is
easy. Simply fill in the P.E.I. Humane Society and our charitable business
number 11910-3133-RR001 on your form.
Casual
Days
Does
your office have a designated casual day? Why not charge each person $1
and give the money you raise to your animal friends?
Sound
Easy? We will even deliver posters and stickers for you and your
co-workers to sport on your P.E.I. Humane Society Casual Day!
Matching
Gifts
Do
you work for a Matching Gift Employer? Are you are interested in doubling
or even tripling the impact of the financial gifts you make? If you
answered yes to either of these questions, you need to talk to your Human
Resource Department today!
Many
companies realize the value in supporting the community that their
employees live and work in. Employers also understand the importance of
demonstrating to employees that they are committed to supporting the
causes that matter to them most.
If
you do work for a matching gift company your human resource department
should be able to walk you through the process of making your donation and
having its value instantly double!
Charity
of the Year
Today
many companies have begun to choose a charity of the year. Over a
twelve-month period employees will concentrate on raising funds for a
staff elected charity of choice.
This
may be an option for your work place. Check it out; you may be surprised
by the enthusiastic response you receive!
Planned
Gifts
Learn
more about our Planned Giving Program! If you are married, single, or
retired, you can plan today to make a contribution to The P.E.I. Humane
Society that may qualify you for a substantial tax deduction.
Our
experienced Planned Giving office is fully equipped to help you and your
estate planning professional(s) (e.g., attorneys, accountants, trust
officers) design a charitable gift appropriate for you. To discuss any of
our planned giving programs, please contact Kelly Mullally at kmullaly@peihumanesociety.com or call (902) 892-1190.
Bequests
Remembering
the P.E.I. Humane Society in your will is a sure way to help provide care
and protection for thousands of animals in need in the future. You can
name the P.E.I. Humane Society as a direct beneficiary of specific assets
or a portion of your estate, or you can name the Society as a contingent
beneficiary of assets designated for loved ones in the event they do not
survive you.
In
Memory/Tribute Gifts
Tribute
gifts are a special way to let someone know you are thinking about them,
while helping the animals at the same time.
When
you make a gift in memory or in honour of a person or pet, we will send a
tribute card to the person or family member to acknowledge your
thoughtfulness.
We
will also send cards for other occasions such as birthdays, weddings and
holidays.
You will need to provide the person's or pet's
name for the In Memory/Honour gift, any special message that you would
like to have on the card and who the card should be signed from, the
recipient's name & address, and the sender's name & address.
Life
Insurance
Many
people own some form of life insurance because of its unique ability to
meet a variety of needs for financial protection. A donor can name the
P.E.I. Humane Society as the primary beneficiary or as a successor
beneficiary of a life insurance policy. When the proceeds are paid to the
P.E.I. Humane Society, the donor's estate will be allowed an estate-tax
charitable deduction.
Gift
of Real Estate
While
The P.E.I. Humane Society gratefully accepts gifts of cash or credit
cards, the organization is also capable of receiving gifts of real estate.
Leaving a gift of real estate is more complex and there are many benefits
to you and our organization. We suggest you call us or your financial
planner to discuss the benefits of this type of gift.

always gratefully accept the following:
Bags
of dried dog and cat food, including puppy chow and senior diet formulas.

P.E.I. Humane Society is a not-for-profit organization. We serve the
community of Prince Edward Island, providing care to thousands of injured,
stray, and abandoned animals. A lot of what we do for both the animals and
the community is made possible by the assistance of volunteers. If you are
interested in joining our valuable team of volunteers, contact our
Executive Director, Heather Irving at (902) 892-1190.
