Each year around the holiday season caring individuals make tax-deductible donations to support nonprofit organizations like The Haven. We are thankful to those who give to help the animals. The caring and generous support from donors directly impact our 501 (c) 3 nonprofit, providing us with the resources needed to help end pet homelessness.

Sadly, we live in a time where scams and frauds take place more often than we would like. You can take extra steps to ensure that your gift is received by an official nonprofit by simply validating your favorite nonprofit’s legal status using a global online database, Guidestar. This tool is helpful for donors who want to make sure their donation is being received by the correct and actual nonprofit. Guidestar gathers, organizes, and distributes information about U.S. nonprofits like The Haven.

The Haven appreciates every penny of your hard-earned donation. Our nonprofit is registered with Guidestar.org which validates nonprofits like The Haven as an official 501 (c) 3 nonprofit IRS-recognized tax-exempt organization. You can also check out our progress on how many animals you have helped each month and year on Shelter Animals Count. 

Helping nonprofits in your community make a positive impact is rewarding. Do your part this season and any time you make a donation by researching your cause before hitting “submit” or dropping your gift in the mail.

The Haven No-Kill Animal Shelter is proud to receive the Platinum Seal of Transparency from Guidestar.org, 2018 Great Nonprofit Award from Greatnonprofits.org, members of Shelter Animals Count, and Million Cat Challenge.
