Thank you for helping pets get the critical care they need and return home to the families who love them.
Give by Check
If you would like to give by check or money order, please make it payable to Pieper Olson Foundation and mail checks to; Pieper Olson Foundation, 282 Main Street Ext, Building C, 1st Floor, Middletown, CT 06457. Every gift brings hope to families and comfort to pets.
Donating Stock
Donating stock is a powerful way to give that can often have greater impact than donating cash. By transferring appreciated stock directly to a nonprofit, you can avoid paying capital gains taxes while still receiving a charitable deduction for the fair market value. This means more of your gift goes to support the cause you care about, while also offering you meaningful tax benefits. Fill out the form on the Contact us page for transfer details or email us at info@pieperolsonfoundation.pet.
Donor Advised Fund
If you have a Donor Advised Fund with a community foundation, investment firm, or another organization, you can recommend a grant to the Pieper Olson Foundation, just be sure to follow the specific guidelines of your fund.
Consider Becoming a Recurring Donor
Becoming a monthly donor is one of the most impactful ways to give. Your steady support provides reliable funding that allows us to plan ahead, respond quickly to urgent needs, and sustain our programs year-round. Even a modest monthly gift adds up to make a significant difference over time, creating lasting change for the animals and families we serve.
Employer Matching Gifts
Many donors are surprised to learn that their gift can go even further through their employer’s matching gift program. These programs allow companies to match charitable contributions made by employees, sometimes doubling or even tripling the impact of a single donation. Checking with your employer’s human resources department or benefits portal is a simple step that can make your generosity stretch further, providing even more support for families and pets in need. Taking advantage of a matching gift is an easy way to maximize your contribution without any additional cost to you.
Consider Becoming a Corporate Sponsor
Becoming a corporate sponsor is a meaningful way for businesses to give back while also strengthening their brand. Sponsorship demonstrates a company’s commitment to the community, builds goodwill with customers and employees, and creates positive visibility through association with a trusted cause. It is an opportunity to align your business values with your philanthropy, make a tangible impact, and be recognized as a leader who invests in both people and pets.
