Ways to Give

Make a Difference

Friends of SFACC is a registered 501 (c)(3) nonprofit and is an all-volunteer-run organization. Our federal EIN (employer identification number for tax-exempt verification) is 94-3371620.

Your gift makes it possible to provide programs, supplies, and awareness of the services provided to animals and people in San Francisco by the Dept. of Animal Care & Control. Donating to Friends of SFACC directly (rather than to the city fund for the shelter), ensures that the funds go toward helping the animals in ways that are outside the scope of the City budget. Gifts of any size make a difference. We thank you for your generous support!

Your donation to Friends of SFACC directly supports these critical programs.

• Behavior & Training staff, who evaluate animals for adoption, train volunteers, and coordinate fosters for mother dogs/puppies
• Low-cost rabies vaccine/microchip clinics for the public, held at ACC
• Grants for local rescue/adoption partners
• Emergency medical procedures for abused, neglected, or injured animals that require specialized care beyond what ACC veterinarians can provide
• Equipment and supplies not covered by the city budget that improve the quality of the animals’ lives in the stressful shelter environment, such as orthopedic dog beds, astroturf in the shelter dog yard, neonatal kitten supplements, and toys and treats for all the animals
• Staff & volunteer appreciation events and special workshops

Give Online

Other Ways to Give

You can also help support Friends’ programs through your workplace matching program, your estate, online shopping, donating your car, or by planning your own fundraising event. Click on the following fundraising programs to learn more about them, or contact info@friendsofsfacc.org.

Have your pet’s photo displayed in a Pet Food Express store while you help ACC! All you have to do is make a donation of at least $250 (per pet in photo) to Friends of SFACC (donations must be within the same calendar year as the My Mutt application). Your donation should be sent directly to Friends of SFACC, c/o ACC, 1200 15th Street, SF, CA  94103. Pet Food Express (PFE) needs only proof of your donation via a receipt with your application. PFE will then hire a professional pet photographer to arrange a photo shoot of your adorable critter and after you choose an image, they’ll enlarge the photo to poster size and display it in the store of your choice. You get to see your “celebrity” pet every time you shop for food and supplies. Those who donate $250 or more will see their poster displayed in the store for six months, and for a donation of $500 or more, the image will be up for a year. Go to petfoodexpress.com/mymutt (External Link) to submit your application after making your donation to Friends of SFACC.
