Major Giving

Transforming Animal Welfare in Our Community

Major gifts to the Hamilton/Burlington SPCA create lasting, life changing impact for animals and the people who love them. When you choose to invest in our work at a leadership level, you become a partner in building a more compassionate community—one where every animal has the chance to feel safe, supported, and loved.  We would like to work with you to find the most meaningful impact for your gift.

Your Gifts Make a Difference

Major Gifts Allow us to Plan Boldly, Respond Quickly, and Innovate for the Future. These Contributions Help Us:

• Provide urgent medical care and lifesaving treatment
• Strengthen behaviour and enrichment programs
• Support families through community outreach and pet retention services
• Expand adoption and foster programs
• Invest in facilities, equipment, and long term animal care initiatives

Your generosity fuels the programs that give animals a second chance.
