For one day only, animal lovers will be given a rare opportunity to double the dollars they donate to RSPCA Victoria during Give to Get Them Home on Thursday, 1 October.
Every donation made to RSPCA Victoria during Give to Get them Home will be matched by generous major donors and corporate partners on the day.
“With many Victorians feeling the strain in their back pockets at the moment, dollar matching fundraisers are a wonderful way for even the smallest donation to make a big difference,” said Dr Liz Walker, CEO at RSPCA Victoria.
“Animal cruelty still occurs, even in the face of the pandemic. Our Inspectors are still on the road, our vet clinics are still treating sick animals and our shelters are working hard every day to find loving new homes for the animals in our care.
“On October 1, any donation made to RSPCA Victoria will be doubled by our Give to Get Them Home matching partners. That means a $25 donation will turn into $50, $100 into $200 and so on. This money will go directly towards helping neglected, abandoned and abused animals.
“Like many charities, we are feeling the impact of COVID-19 so every dollar donated counts even more at the moment. The potential impact of a day like Give to Get the Home is not to be underestimated. Last year 2,768 generous donors and matching partners raised an incredible $798,778 for RSPCA Victoria.”
On average it costs RSPCA Victoria $1,000 to rescue, care for and find an animal a home. Money raised will go directly to help homeless, neglected and abused animals in the community, and support RSPCA Victoria’s animal welfare advocacy and education work.
Give to Get Them Home is made possible by major donors and the below corporate partners. Participants can donate via www.charidy.com/rspcavic or via telephone on 9224 2538.
