Donate Cash & Supplies
The Animal Program Trust Fund can accept monetary donations of cash or checks, matching grants, stocks or bonds.

This fund is used to purchase things that directly benefit the animals that are not provided for in the government operating budget. Examples include skylights for the kennel and cat housing areas to make the animals more comfortable and therefore more adoptable. Donations to the trust fund are considered non-profit under Section 170(c) of the Internal Revenue Code since we are a local government agency. This is a status nearly identical to that described by Section 501.c.3 of the Code.
