Gifts from Donor-Advised Funds or Retirement Accounts
Michigan Humane accepts contributions from donor-advised funds and retirement accounts. If you are age 70½ or older, you can make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA). Making a QCD allows you to support our mission while potentially lowering your taxable income.

Partnering with us creates direct community impact by funding pet rescues, medical care, and programs that keep families together. A corporate partnership boosts employee engagement and morale through hands-on volunteering. Plus, event sponsorships and co-branded initiatives elevate your brand visibility and corporate goodwill.
Signature Events
At Michigan Humane there are so many ways to get involved. One of those ways is by attending one of our events. Whether it is grabbing your favorite fur friend and hitting one of our Sit, Sip, and Stay events or attending one of our signature events, like our annual Purrfect Bow Wow Brunch or Tailgate, which includes our longstanding Mutt March. There is always a place for you at Michigan Humane.
Host a Fundraiser
Host an online or third-party fundraiser—like a local parlor event—to make a direct community impact by funding life-saving pet rescues, medical care, and family-reunification programs. Bringing your team or network together for a cause-driven event boosts morale, deepens engagement, and unites people around a shared purpose. Plus, hosting a custom initiative elevates your brand visibility, positioning your organization as a compassionate leader in humane care and community investment.
