Fundraising Toolkit

Join us on sample date

We know that asking for donations can feel uncomfortable for some, but you don't need to be a fundraising expert to raise money for the animals! The resources listed below can help you spread the word and make asks to those in your community. If you're still feeling nervous, just remember: It's not a selfish ask — you're trying to help a good cause! The worst they can do is say "no" (and that's okay).

Use the resources from our Fundraising Toolkit below to get started. If you need support with your fundraising, you can always reach the WillaMutt Strut Support Team at events@oregonhumane.org.
