HAWS Giving
HAWS is a charitable, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization funded primarily by donations and fundraising events. We receive no governmental tax-based revenues, although some local governments do contract with us for animal control (impound) services on a cost basis. Funds raised are used to provide for our animals, including proper veterinary care, good food, warm beds and toys. Funds also support education and outreach programs that promote responsible pet ownership and prevent animal abuse. All donations are fully tax deductible as allowed by law.

We are listed on www.Guidestar.org and with The Greater Milwaukee Foundation. View our complete listing on Guidestar.org by typing in our EIN, 39-6108644 on the start page.

Gifts of Love
One of the most meaningful ways to help animals is to make a gift in honor or in memory of a special person, animal or occasion. We acknowledge your donation to us by sending a beautiful card to the giftee in your name. Our thoughtful memorial cards let grieving loved ones know that you are thinking of them.

General Donations
General donations, both of money and supplies, which help us provide shelter 24/7/365 for lost, abandoned, unwanted or stray companion pets are welcome any time. Or, if you prefer, you may request that your gift be designated for a special fund.

Special Funds at HAWS:
Annie's Fund for homeless animals needing medical care
HAWS Mobile Adoption center
Small Animal Fund for care of HAWS' rabbits, guinea pigs, etc.
Sponsorships - for our SNIP clinic, special events, educational programs

Workplace Giving

If you participate in the United Way or your employer’s workplace giving campaign, consider designating your contributions to HAWS. Workplace giving is an easy, convenient way to show your support for our mission.

Double Your Money!!
You may be able to increase your gift to HAWS through a workplace matching gift program. Many companies will match or even double charitable contributions made by their employees. Ask your personnel administrator about your employer's policy. Sign and send the paperwork to our development office; we'll submit it and let you know when we receive your employer's matching grant.

Donate Your Drivable Vehicle and Help HAWS
HAWS has just formed an agreement with Ranch Community Services in Menomonee Falls to participate in their vehicle donation program. You may donate a drivable vehicle to The Ranch and HAWS will receive a portion of the proceeds. The Ranch will repair and sell the vehicle. Benefits to the donor include tax deduction, release of vehicle, time and cost savings and no trade-in and sales hassles. This program is an excellent way to show your support of HAWS' mission. For more information, contact Ranch Community Services at 262-251-8670, ext. 302, and be sure to mention HAWS.
