Interested in donating to IYGAS?
One of the most valuable ways community members donate to IYGAS is through volunteering. However, we happily and graciously accept physical gifts and donations year-round. If you are interested in fundraising for us, give us a call and we can work with you.
We always need:
-
Old clean newspapers
-
Old clean towels, blankets
-
Cleaning supplies
-
Dog toys
-
Cat toys
Most of the shelter funding goes to medical expenses, food, and utilities. We are constantly fundraising to maintain and improve our facilities, develop animal engagement, and provide services to the Port Isabel community.
Funding also supports staff development conferences, office supplies, marketing efforts, and building maintenance.
Please check out our Amazon wishlist for specific donation items.
If you are looking to make a monetary donation, we access checks and cash in person and by mail. We are in the process of setting up an online donation system.
Donation and fundraising ideas
The most valuable donation you can give us is TIME! If you or your group would like to volunteer, please check out our Get Involved information and contact us!
If you are passionate about raising awareness for animal shelters, we'd be happy to be the recipient of any fundraising events you and/or your club organize.
If you need some ideas for fun events:
-
Ask for monetary donations or needed supplies for dogs and cats in place of holiday or birthday presents
-
Consider doing a car wash, bake sale, or auction
-
Organize a sports or fitness event where participants find sponsors per mile, goal, or point scored
-
Hold a coin collection and work with local companies or organizations
