Employer Match
Does your employer match your charitable giving? Please inquire, so you can multiply the impact of your gifts to Greyhound Friends.
We are registered with Benevity/Bright Funds, which many companies use to manage their matching gifts. Of course we’re also happy to complete any forms your employer uses for their match program. Please email info@greyhound.org or mail your employer’s forms to us at 167 Saddle Hill Rd, Hopkinton, MA 01748.
Organize a Drive or Fundraiser
Whether it’s your friends & neighbors contributing to your personal Facebook fundraiser appeal, or a club activity like Scouts or a community service group collecting dog food, treats and blankets – when people get together to help, they can make a big impact for good. If you’re not sure what to choose, please call or email our director, Terri Shepard, to discuss your ideas.
Remember a Loved One with a Tree of Life Leaf
You can memorialize a loved one with their name engraved on a hand-wrought leaf installed on the beautiful tree that greets all kennel visitors in our reception area.
Sculpted by local metal artist Eduardo Amaral, the tree and leaves are a lasting and meaningful memorial. Please email greyhoundfriends.office@gmail.com for an order form with all the details. Leaves are $300 each, with all proceeds supporting adoption, of course.
Planned and Legacy Giving
If you’d like to make helping animals a part of your legacy, either through planned giving strategies now, or through inclusion in a trust or will, please consider designating Greyhound Friends as a beneficiary.
Through substantial legacy gifts, donors have been making lifesaving work possible for close to 40 years. We are here for dogs who need us – and will be here into the future, since the need continues.
Please contact us – or ask your estate attorney or financial planner to get in touch – for any information that will assist in your planning.
