There are many ways to make an impact at Marin Humane.
When you commit to making a recurring gift on a monthly or quarterly basis, you become a Constant Companion! You’ll receive one acknowledgement letter a year summarizing your annual giving. What’s more, you’ll help us reduce administrative costs and enable us to budget more effectively when we can plan for your contribution. Sign up for a recurring gift online or contact Maureen Reyes, Development Prospect & Data Administrator, at 415.506.6231 or mreyes@marinhumane.org.
Donating stock is easier than you might think! Please review our stock transfer instructions and reach out to Teal Conroy, Senior Leadership Giving Officer, at tconroy@marinhumane.org or 415.506.6258 if you have any further questions.
When you include Marin Humane in your estate plan, you leave a legacy of compassion and care for pets and their guardians alike. To learn how you can make a generational impact with a future gift, please visit our Plan Your Legacy page or contact Nan Zimmerman, Grants and Planned Giving Officer, at 415.506.6233 or nzimmerman@marinhumane.org.
Members of Marin Humane’s Legacy Society who make an annual gift of any amount qualify for our Guardians program. This exclusive benefit allows members to register their pets with Marin Humane to ensure expedited rehoming in the event a guardian is no longer able to provide for a loved animal companion.
Honoring a pet or a loved one with a tribute gift is a thoughtful way to express your condolences, or to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and milestones. Please visit our tribute page to learn more.
There are several naming opportunities throughout Marin Humane’s Novato campus. We’d love to show you the available areas. We also provide unique opportunities to honor or memorialize your pet. Please contact Matt Terhune, VP of Philanthropy, at 415.506.6257 or via email to learn more.
Please visit our Amazon Wish lists linked below to purchase items that will directly support our Marin Humane community. These items will be sent directly to the shelter.

Organize and host a fundraiser to benefit the animals and people supported by Marin Humane. Some fun fundraising ideas include birthday parties (ask your guests to make a donation in lieu of gifts), car washes, lemonade stands, percentage of business sales, or business promotional nights (Pints for Paws, Yoga Night, etc.). A contribution of any size makes a difference in the lives of animals. To ensure your success, check out our third-party fundraiser guidelines to help you plan your event. Please review and return to development@marinhumane.org.
