Wisconsin (August 6, 2024) – In August, every single dollar donated to the Wisconsin Humane Society (WHS) will be matched up to $200,000! This is WHS’s largest campaign of the year, and couldn’t come at a better time. Summer is peak intake season at WHS, and many animals in the community are in urgent need of shelter, medical care, behavioral support, and a new family to cherish them. You can double your impact for animals in need with this dollar-for-dollar match! That means:
- $30 will become $60 to provide training for dogs with special behavior needs
- $50 will become $100 to help spay or neuter animals so they can be adopted and given a second chance
- $100 will become $200 to help animals receive emergency surgery and medical treatment
Donations made to the Green Bay and Door County Campuses will be generously matched by Virginia Kress and a special group of friends. Donations made to WHS’s southern campuses will be matched by the Nicholas Family Foundation, Judith Ford, Patti & Jack McKeithan Northwoods Fund, Patricia Bachhuber, Kathleen Ryan, Nancy Behrens – who donated in memory of Aggie & Gracie, the most wonderful rescues anyone could ask for – as well as a gift from the Ruud Family Foundation, which is matching any new or increased donations made to the Racine Campus.
As WHS doesn’t receive general government funding and is not part of any national umbrella group, the local nonprofit depends on the generosity of the community to serve more than 40,000 animals and their families every year.
