Host Your Own Fundraiser

THANK YOU for your interest in hosting a Community Fundraiser for the homeless animals at the Monmouth County SPCA.

Our volunteers and community members have many unique fundraising ideas that allow us to care for thousands of abused, abandoned and homeless animals throughout Monmouth County. 

In addition to raising much needed funds to keep the MCSPCA running, Community Fundraisers help increase the public’s awareness toward the growing number of homeless pets in our community, as well as the life saving services that the Monmouth County SPCA provides.

We hope that this page will help you in your efforts to help us.

What is a Community Fundraiser?

A Community Fundraiser is a volunteer-driven event that falls outside of the MCSPCA’s regularly scheduled fundraising activities and events.  Our staff will be happy to answer your questions and assist you to the best of our ability, given our very limited resources.

Types of Community Fundraisers

A group or individual can host an event or sponsor an activity, designating the MCSPCA as the beneficiary.

The MCSPCA can also receive support from an existing event sponsored by another organization and receive all or a portion of the revenue generated from the event.

Example 1:  A company has an annual party and asks their employees to bring donations of food and toys for the MCSPCA.

Example 2:  A city has an annual marathon and the sponsor offers participants the opportunity to secure pledges for the MCSPCA.
