Trademark licensing
Please note that you may not use our trademarks on your product or marketing material without our express written consent. If you wish to use our trademarks, a Trademark License Agreement is required.
Commercial co-venture
If your company wishes to do any of the following, it would qualify as a cause-related marketing partnership:
- Communicate that specific dollars or percentage of your proceeds will be given to the HSUS/HSI.
- Market your intentions to give to the HSUS/HSI to incentivize a purchase.
- Communicate that a purchase will benefit a specific program of our work.
At this time, because we have a limited capacity to facilitate these types of partnerships, cause-marketing partners must commit to a minimum of a $25,000 annual donation. Please note that you may not make any statement about donating a portion of the proceeds without our express written consent. New and small businesses and authors should consider direct donations.
All charitable sales promotions are state regulated in order to protect consumers and charities. They require a signed cause-marketing agreement between the nonprofit and the company.
We encourage you to do your own research, as well as review information from the Better Business Bureau.

Event sponsorship
We host a variety of events throughout the U.S. to share our mission and impact with new and longtime supporters. Sponsorship of an HSUS/HSI event helps underwrite the costs of the events so that all of the funds raised can go directly to our work. When you sponsor an event, your company will be affiliated with the leader in the fight for all animals. It’s an exciting way to connect with new and current customers in their daily lives and demonstrate your commitment to animal welfare!

Workplace giving
According to surveys, 86% of employees expect opportunities to become involved in charitable activities such as workplace giving. Employees who don’t take advantage of these programs say they don’t give because the causes they care about aren’t offered as a choice. Productivity increased by up to 13% when people are able to support the causes they care about.
