Donations

SCFAW relies on the donations, memorials and bequests, trusts, and other gifts from concerned and caring individuals. Your support helps sustain the high quality spay/neuter services, urgent medical care, and public education we offer. In fact, some 85% of our funding comes from caring individuals like you! As a contributor, you can elect to donate your fully tax-deductible gift in a way that best suits your personal preference. Your help makes a measurable difference to our success. Please read on for details. 

Second Chance Fund for Animal Welfare will protect its donors' privacy and will not sell or in any way disclose the personal or contact information of donors unless required by law.

Financial Contributions

Cash and Other Gifts  Cash is the most common form of giving. Each year, contributors provide the financial resources to help cover the cost of the spay and neuter services provided by our veterinary partners. Donations also fund our Scratch's Patch Up Program, public education, and normal overhead, including a small staff of dedicated employees. Please consider making a generous donation today to help reduce the suffering of homeless cats through affordable spay/neuter.

Your financial donations subsidize our spay/neuter clinic participants' co-pays, so that we can continue to hold all of our clinics. Please click here to donate securely online.

• $40 subsidizes one spay surgery
• $25 subsidizes one neuter surgery
• $15 subsidizes rabies and distemper vaccinations for one cat

You may also elect to donate through the giving of security instruments such as stocks. To learn more about this type of donation, please email or phone us at 978-779-8287.

Does your company match gifts? If so, this is an excellent way to make your donation go farther! To learn if your employer matches gifts, contact your human resources department.
