Funding and Support
Best Friends Sanctuary is a Non-Profit 501(C3) with an organizational structure of a President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, board members, and committee members. Donations are tax-deductible, as allowed by law.
We are 100% donation dependent, which means we depend 100% on the generosity and giving of the community to be able to function.
Throughout the year, we also compete with many other non-profits for grants. Our Spay/Neuter Grant is our biggest, most important, and supports our Mission. If a Grant is approved, it comes with strict guidelines on how the funds may be used. We comply with and must report the usage of every dollar of those funds, every year. Our impeccable, consistent compliance is what enables us to obtain our much needed grant money.
However, grant funding, although vital, is never enough. Without the generous donations from our community supporters, we could not provide this very necessary humane, community service to you. We have a few wonderful donors who support us, financially, on a monthly basis. Others donate much needed time/food/supplies. All donations, of every kind, are essential and help up stay open and functioning.
We are also listed on Charity Navigator for those who which to donate through that trusted platform.
…Happy life Mr. Brown!Donations are always welcome!
