Did you know that many employers make it easy to support causes you care about through workplace giving programs? You can help save lives of homeless animals by donating through payroll deductions or by supporting your employer’s workplace giving campaign. If your employer offers charitable matching, your generosity goes even further. Check with your HR department today to see how you can make a difference effortlessly.

Contact your HR department and ask them to match your donation. Remind them that Second Chance is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (our EIN is 56-1671883), so their match is tax deductible. Please also consider setting up a recurring payroll deduction – a small contribution each paycheck can create a lasting impact.
