Yes. Click here to find out whether your company has a qualifying program, get the form from your employer, and then make your donation online or send us a check through the mail.
Then send your completed and signed form, along with your check or a copy of your online donation receipt, to HSUS, Dept: Matching Gifts, 2100 L St., NW, Washington, DC 20037. We'll take care of the rest.
Can I make a donation in honor of a person or special event?
Yes! Through the Hip Hip Humane! program, you can celebrate a special friend or special occasions such as birthdays, holidays, and weddings. An acknowledgment card will be sent to the gift membership recipient. Cards can even be sent on behalf of pets to humans and other furry friends. Now, dogs can send birthday cards, and cats can send holiday cards! There is no minimum donation for Hip Hip Humane! For additional information, call 1-866-MY-FRIEND, email us at hiphiphumane@hsus.org.
How do I make a donation in memory of a family member or pet?
The Kindred Spirits memorial program is a meaningful way to honor the memory of a person or pet, while helping to protect all animals. There is no minimum donation required for Kindred Spirits. The HSUS will send a sympathy card to the designated person or family acknowledging your donation. As a lasting tribute, the name of the deceased will be added to the Book of Kindred Spirits located in the HSUS's national operations center in Gaithersburg, Md. For additional information, call 1-866-MY-FRIEND.

What is The HSUS's tax ID number?
The HSUS's tax identification number is 53-0225390.
I participate in the Partner's Circle program, but I also make additional contributions to The HSUS. Will the monthly statement show all my gifts?
Your monthly statement will only indicate whether or not the previous month's Partner's Circle donation was made. If you would like to pay for multiple months, please indicate this on your statement, and we will credit your record accordingly. Otherwise, your statement will only be credited for the designated month. If you respond to a different HSUS mailing, the donation will be credited to your general membership record, and not to your Partner's Circle statement. For a receipt showing all donations to The HSUS, please contact us at 301-258-8276, or send an email to membership@hsus.org. Be sure to include your full name and address.
If I donate monthly through an automatic debit, can I still receive HSUS mailings?
Yes. You will continue to receive regular HSUS correspondence. Rest assured that as a member of any HSUS monthly giving program, your membership will always be considered current. If, however, you would like to receive fewer mailings, please contact us by phone, email or conventional mail (202-452-1100; membership@hsus.org; HSUS, 2100 L St., NW, Washington, D.C. 20037).
Can I donate through my workplace?
Yes. If your company offers workplace giving, such as America's Charities or United Way, you should contact your Human Resources representative for enrollment materials. Please note that your company may or may not supply The HSUS with all the information we require to credit you for your gift. You should confirm with your company that the donations, as well as your name and address, are being submitted as requested.
Does The HSUS accept matching gifts from my employer?
Yes. First check with your employer regarding the rules of the program and any possible restrictions. Then please forward your employer's matching gift form, along with your donation, to The HSUS at 2100 L St., NW, Washington, D.C., 20037, Attn: Matching Gifts Program.
Do you participate in the Combined Federal Campaign, and, if so, what is your number?
