Major support results in major impact. Your gift will not only support our mission of saving lives, keeping families together, and creating a better future for pets and their people, it will help us change the game for animal welfare in our community and beyond.
To share our gratitude, exclusive engagement and recognition opportunities are available for our most dedicated supporters through our Giving Circles.
Maybe you’ve always wanted to ride along on regional rescue run or help us name a new litter of puppies or welcome new kittens to the shelter. These are just a few of the experiences available as our way of saying thank you for helping us expand our life saving work.
To learn more about our Giving Circles please contact us at donor.support@hssv.org or 408-263-8227.
As a result of the December 2024 fire, some of our recognition and engagement opportunities are temporarily unavailable. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact us.
1929 Legacy Society
Our Heritage Society has been re-named and is now our 1929 Legacy Society! Our members have let us know that they have thoughtfully included Humane Society Silicon Valley (HSSV) in their will or trust, or as a beneficiary of their retirement account, life insurance, charitable remainder trust, or more.
As a member of our 1929 Legacy Society, you will enjoy a deeper connection to HSSV. Through our benefits listed below we will share with you the lifesaving work we are performing now, so you can consider a particular area of our work in which you’d like to leave your legacy. These benefits are designed to bring you deeper into our fold, with a view into HSSV’s long-term plans, keeping you engaged, inspired, and excited about what your future gift will accomplish.
