Donor-Advised Funds

Emergency Relief
Our emergency response team has been a trusted partner since 2011. We respond to requests when animals need us most, with expertise in removing animals from dangerous situations, setting up temporary shelters, providing urgent care, delivering supplies to impacted locations, and reuniting animals with their families after disasters.
Workplace Giving
Payroll contributions are an easy and efficient way to make tax-deductible donations.
Make your lifesaving gift or volunteer hours go twice as far by getting a match from your company! Send in a matching form with your donation next time you donate to ARF. Your company’s HR department should be able to provide forms or know if a workplace giving program exists.
ARF has many programs, in addition to core rescue and adoption efforts, that may meet your company’s donation-match criteria, including the ARF All Stars® humane education programs, the Pet Hug Pack®, and partnering with ARF.
Honor Wall
The honor wall is adorned with a growing collection of customized tiles honoring two- and four-legged friends who have touched our lives. Tiles are available for a $250 donation. The tile will be permanently displayed in the public garden at ARF’s headquarters in Walnut Creek, California, plus each donor has the option to receive a complimentary replica tile* for personal use. Every 6″ x 6″ tile accommodates a full color photo, logo, or work of art with a name and phrase of your choice.
There are a limited number of wall tile spots available. Questions? Please call (925) 296-3156 or email [email protected].
*Pursuant to IRS regulations, the tax deductible portion of the donation is $210 if a replica tile is included.
