More and more companies – even smaller ones – are donating to charities. Many, in order to encourage their employees to donate to charity, even have Matching Gift programs where your employer “matches” your own donation, thereby doubling your gift to our homeless dogs and cats. Some employers will even “double-match” your donation thereby tripling the impact of your original donation.
Before you donate to Bobbi and the Strays, please be sure to check with your Human Resources department or your Office Manager to see if your company has a Matching Gift Program. If it does be sure to follow your company’s guidelines when making a donation to increase your impact to Bobbi and the Strays.
If your company requires an application to be completed by us, or other documentation, please just contact us. We would love to be included in any of your company’s charitable campaigns.
Federal & State Employees
Federal Employees can participate in the annual Combined Federal Campaign (CFC), which runs from September 1 through December 15. Just locate the Bobbi and the Strays section in your CFC materials. Many states now also conduct their own annual government employee campaigns – please check to see if Bobbi and the Strays is included in those charities from which to select. If not – let us know how we may be included.
United Way
Many companies hold United Way fund-drives. Through the United Way’s “Donor Option” program, you can now select Bobbi and the Strays as the beneficiary of your United Way gifts – please remember to write Bobbi and the Strays in as your choice. (Since procedures vary with each local or regional campaign, please check with your workplace coordinator to make sure that you write your choice in correctly.) Many employers will also match your United Way donations and usually donations taken from your paycheck are not taxed.
For more information on Workplace Giving – contact your Human Resources Department or Office Manager. You may also call us at (718) 326-6070 or email donate@bobbicares.org.
Thank you for helping us to rescue, rehabilitate, adopt, and educate! Your donations are so greatly appreciated!!!
