Animal Rescue and Care Fund

Every day, across our communities, animals face abandonment, illness, hunger, and heartbreak. Many suffer quietly—unseen, unheard, and unable to ask for help. But you can be their voice. Our Animal Rescue & Care cause exists for one powerful purpose: to step in where suffering begins and hope seems out of reach. Through this dedicated fund, we provide meaningful grants to qualifying campaigns on GiveSendGo.com that are working tirelessly to save and protect animals who deserve a second chance at life. When you give, you become part of a rescue story—one where wagging tails return, soft purrs replace fear, and animals once lost finally find the warmth and safety they’ve always deserved. How Your Donation Makes a Difference Your generosity fuels life-changing impact through: • Supporting shelters and sanctuaries We help struggling rescues keep their doors open, expand capacity, and provide clean bedding, safe shelter, nutritious food, and the loving care animals need to heal. • Funding urgent veterinary care Many animals arrive injured, sick, or neglected. Your donation allows campaigns to afford surgeries, medicine, vaccines, and lifesaving treatments that determine whether an animal survives. • Expanding spay/neuter programs Prevention is powerful. We help fund community spay/neuter efforts that reduce suffering, control overpopulation, and create a healthier, safer future for animals everywhere. • Strengthening adoption and foster programs We support initiatives that connect rescued animals with forever families—people who will love them, protect them, and give them the life they’ve always deserved. • Encouraging responsible pet ownership Through education and outreach grants, we help compassionate campaigns teach communities how to care for and protect their animals with dignity and respect. Nominate a Campaign — Help Us Direct Help Where It’s Needed Most If you know of a OpportunityToServe campaign that aligns with our Animal Rescue & Care mission, you can nominate it directly on our website. We review every nomination with care, ensuring your generosity supports trustworthy, high-impact causes. Tax-Deductible Giving + Exclusive Invitation All contributions are fully tax deductible. Donors who give over $500 receive a special invitation to our annual Service Gala, a heartfelt celebration of compassion, rescue stories, and the remarkable impact of people like you.

Education Support Initiative

At OpportunityToServe, we believe every child, every learner, and every artist deserves the chance to grow. Too many bright minds go without supplies, too many classrooms lack basic resources, and too many gifted creators never get the opportunity to share their talent. Your donation can change that. When you give to our Arts & Education Fund, you’re placing hope directly into the hands of students, teachers, and creators who simply need someone to believe in them. Your generosity fuels opportunities that transform lives in powerful, lasting ways. Your Donation Provides: Books, supplies, and essential learning materials Support for underserved and privately funded schools Instruments, art tools, and creative resources Funding for youth programs, tutors, and educational initiatives Support for local arts projects that uplift entire communities Every dollar goes where it matters most—strengthening education and the arts, building confidence, and opening doors for those who would otherwise be left behind. All donations are tax-deductible. Gifts of $500+ receive an invitation to our exclusive "Service Gala” celebration event. Your gift today sparks creativity, opens doors, and changes futures.
