Giving Circle Levels and Benefits

At Humane Society Silicon Valley, your generosity helps us save lives, keep families together, and create a better future for people and their pets. To show our gratitude, we created Giving Circles for those who give $100 or more – and each level comes with unique benefits.  To learn more about our Giving Circles, or if you are a current member interested in accessing your benefits, please contact Krista Coutts at 408-942-3011 or krista.coutts@hssv.org.

Membership Levels

Ambassador’s Circle $100 – $999
Leadership’s Circle $1,000 – $9,999
President’s Circle $10,000 – $99,999
Chair’s Circle $100,000+

As a Giving Circle member, you will feel even closer to our mission by experiencing it firsthand. Maybe you’ve always wanted to ride along on a rescue mission — giving neglected or abandoned animals a second chance. Or see our daily lifesaving work behind-the-scenes with a tour through our state-of-the-art Medical Center. You may even have a challenging question for our animal socializers or behavior experts, whose rehabilitative work your gifts make possible.

These are just a few of the experiences available to you through our Giving Circle benefits. It is our way of saying thank you — for saving animals’ lives, for giving animals a voice, and for expressing your personal passion for animals as our deeply valued philanthropic partner.

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.
