Oregon Coast Humane Society offers many ways to make a difference for the animals.
Our hometown shelter brings together the contributions of people from all walks of life to save lives and serve our community. All donations to our nonprofit organization are deeply appreciated, promptly acknowledged, and immediately put to work to care for pets in our shelter and across the community.
You Belong at OCHS
Your membership is a gift that ensures that our hometown shelter continues to serve people and pets alike. An Individual membership starts at just $30/year and gives you a voice in how our organization is managed. You and your partner can both vote when you have a Family membership for a $40 donation.
Monthly Giving
Even small regular donations really add up! Sign up today and your support will spread the love throughout the year, ensuring ongoing compassionate care for cats and dogs at our hometown shelter.
President’s Circle
Leadership donors at the $1,000 level or above create a circle of love around the pets at the shelter, contributing significantly to saving lives and bringing families together every day. Special benefits honor your outstanding support.
A Plan for My Pets™
What would happen if you were separated from your beloved pets by death or disability? OCHS urges everyone to plan for the continuing care of their cats and dogs. We will provide detailed forms for you to complete and then keep them securely on file should the need arise. When you leave something behind for your hometown shelter, OCHS will ensure that your pets receive devoted care according to your wishes until a loving new family is found.
Legacy Support
The values of a lifetime – compassion, caring, and loving connection – live on when you leave behind a gift for OCHS through your will or trust.
Honor Someone Special
Your gift honoring a person or pet is a loving tribute to those who matter to you. Whether celebrating a special occasion or remembering a departed friend, OCHS will send a greeting as you direct, to ensure that your thoughtful gift is recognized.
Can’t Adopt? Sponsor a Pet!
Your generous donation will help OCHS care for your favorite and all their friends until the perfect adopter comes to take them home.
Gifts of Stock
A donation of stock or other appreciated securities can offer significant tax savings while making a big difference for pets who need our care. Contact us for stock transfer information.
Retirement Accounts
When you reach age 70 ½ or better, you can roll over a gift from your IRA to help the animals without it counting as taxable income. Especially if you don’t itemize your deductions, this can be a great way to maximize your giving while benefiting the animals.
Business Partnerships
OCHS offers many ways to showcase your business’ dedication to pets and local families. Highlight your company’s values — sponsor an event; host a donation jar; bring a shelter pet to your workplace; contribute goods or services; honor customers by donating a share of your sales, or just make an outright gift. No matter how you choose to get involved, OCHS will work with your team to recognize and honor your dedication to our community and the animals we serve.
Donor Advised Funds
Consider working with Western Lane Community Foundation or another agency to create a donor advised fund that supports OCHS. You’ll get professional management of your charitable dollars while ensuring that pets in at OCHS are given the loving care they need. Whether you advise an annual gift or establish a designated fund to help OCHS, your contributions make a world of difference.
