Give!Guide 2023
November 1 @ 12:00 am - December 31 @ 11:00 pm PDT
THE COMMUNITY GIVING CAMPAIGN OF THE SEASON IS HERE
It is that time of year again! Give!Guide is Oregon’s easiest path to year-end giving. It’s Willamette Week’s annual effort to raise funds for — and draw attention to — the good works of local nonprofits. This year’s campaign features 250 nonprofits working together toward a goal to fundraise $8.2 million between Nov. 1 and Dec. 31.
And it’s all made possible by you.
Start donating to each of your favorite nonprofits, plus join in on incentive giveaways, Big Give Days, and community events for the chance to get a little while you give!
Animal Aid is excited and grateful to be among the nonprofits participating in this year’s campaign. Our organizational goal is to raise $35,000 by year-end.
In 2022, Animal Aid assisted more than 95 animals and their families in the Portland metro area. We cared for 85 cats and dogs through our rescue program, provided over $7,000 in financial aid for urgent medical or behavioral care to 13 guardians through our Animal Aid Cares Fund, and shared more than 4,000 lb. of food and a wide variety of animal care supplies with our 16 Pack partners and local guardians.
Beyond the numbers, the biggest impact that we make in our community is our focus on helping animals who have more extensive medical or behavioral conditions. We refer to those animals as Heartstrings Pets. By devoting the extra time, care, and resources that they need, we aim to save a life that might otherwise be lost and work to match them with a loving guardian, in a forever home.
Thank you to our Give!Guide Partners!
