Ways to Give
Your support of East Bay SPCA directly impacts the thousands of dogs and cats that come through our doors each year, right here in our community. During their stay at our shelter, animals receive expert medical care, behavior training, loving attention and opportunities for play and socialization. It takes a community of volunteers, fosters, and donors to do this!
Become a Constant Companion and ensure that animals in need get year-round help.

Donating stocks allows you to avoid capital gains tax and often take a charitable deduction for the full value of the asset. Use this tool to donate stock so we can track your gift, send you the correct receipt, and ensure you can get the tax savings you deserve. If you would prefer to make your donation through your broker, access our transfer information from the link above to notify East Bay SPCA of your gift.
Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are investment accounts for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations today. This tool linked above automatically links with your DAF, allows you to recommend how you’d like your gift to be used and notifies East Bay SPCA of your intentions. Using FreeWill’s resource to grant from your DAF also saves us a lot of time, so thank you! It’s a great way to ensure consistent financial support while saving cash for immediate needs.
If you are 70.5 or older, giving from your IRA can help reduce your taxable income while helping care for animals in need. For those over 73 who must take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), an IRA gift is a simple way to fulfill it! By using FreeWill to give from your IRA, you can auto-complete your paperwork and we can track your gift to send you the proper tax receipts.
We now accept donations of Ethereum, Bitcoin, and other cryptocurrencies! This gives us one more way to fund our work and can provide you with extra tax benefits.
